The Old Monk and the Staircase

Construction of a stronger and more massive bell tower for the monastery to replace the one destroyed during the last civil strife with a neighboring lord was well underway when the old Monk visited the site. The Abbot showed the Monk the drawings and model for the three-bell tower. The Monk was impressed until he stood where the bell chamber would be and saw the spiral staircase in this medieval bell tower running the wrong direction (counterclockwise).

“The staircase direction must be changed,” said the Old Monk. The Abbot looked at the staircase and agreed. Why?

Photoshopped Cow Optical Illusion

I don’t know if you’ve seen this cow optical illusion floating around social media lately, but I found it and wanted to post a little something about it…

The markings on Mr. Cow here look a little familiar, don’t they? In fact, they look just like the Rubin’s vase optical illusion don’t they? Depending on how you’re looking at them, they either form a vase or two faces. The center white portion of the markings form the vase, while the two black markings on either side form two faces in this cow optical illusion.

If this cow optical illusion is a product of Mother Nature, I’d say that’s pretty amazing! Unfortunately, it is not. According to Snopes, this cow optical illusion was created from a photo of a real cow and used for a Photoshop contest. Bummer… Oh well. It’s still a pretty interesting Photoshop job, no?

What do you think about this cow optical illusion? Love it or hate it, don’t forget to rate it below!

If you loved this cow optical illusion, check out these interesting *not* Photoshopped pics!
