Does This Lady Have Two Different Colored Eyes?

I’m one of those odd individuals who doesn’t have just one eye color. My eye color changes, depending on all sorts of things. Everything from what I wear to my mood to the weather can influence my eye color of the day. It might sound kind of cool to some people, but it can get downright tricky at the DMV.

DMV: Eye color?

ME: Uuuuuummmmm…. Blue. No, green! Wait, I think they’re gray today. Uuuummm….hazel?

DMV: *BLANK STARE*

I’m tellin’ ya, it’s a trip! My problem, I imagine, is not as bad as people’s with two different colored eyes! What exactly would they put on the form for their license? Can they pick and choose? Do they have to use the same color every time, or can you switch it up? These are questions that I simply need to know the answers to!

Let’s ask this lady here, who appears to have two different colored eyes…

Since it looks like she has one blue eye and one gray eye, it’s safe to assume that she’d know the answers to my burning questions, isn’t it?

Not so fast…

This young lady’s eyes may be gorgeous (and probably Photoshopped), but they aren’t two different colors. They are, in fact, the exact same color. If you don’t believe me, I’ve taken the liberty of copying the irises of the eye to a separate image so you can compare for yourself…

Both of her eyes are actually blue-gray. The eye on the left just looks to be a brilliant blue because it’s surrounded by a yellow tint. And, I just blew your mind! 😀

If you liked this two different colored eyes illusion, you’ll definitely want to check out this animated color optical illusion!

Creativity : To-do Lists

Many people have a to-do list to keep track of tasks that they might otherwise forget to do. This organization is a great way to help remember everything that you need to do. Having a to-do list can also help you plan your work ahead of time. As we have learned, a little planning can greatly improve your motivation and productivity.

A pen and paper is all you really need for a task list, but many people prefer using their PDA because it can keep track of important information such as due-dates and priorities. The problem with PDAs is that they have tiny screens are often difficult to use.

A web-based task list is the best of both worlds. It’s easy to use and is accessible from anywhere, even from your cellphone! Toodledo.com is probably the most fully functional web-based task manager out there. Give it a try (it’s free).
