Raking the Sky Optical Illusion

Happy Saturday to everyone, and may you all have a great weekend! In a very famous movie, one of the principle actors in it talked about how life was all about certain points of view. Everyone can take a certain viewpoint of something, and painful as it may be, that point of view can help them cope with something heartbreaking, tragic, and sad. Do you know which famous film I’m referring to? If so, you should leave a comment below and let me know what movie you think it may be.


Either way, that actor was right when he said that points of view are how everyone takes the world and that also includes things like optical illusions. Today’s illusion is all about point of view, and this one is quite special because it looks as though the hand of God himself is taking the sky and turning clouds into long stripes, or perhaps it is the hand of mankind himself that has decided to get rid of the clouds? Whether this is the hand of God or man is really in the eye of the beholder, but it certain makes for quite a debate does it not?

alchy-hamster-alcoholic-cropped Back in 1958, high-school sophomore Diana McGee chose as her biology project an experiment “to make a hamster an alcoholic, then to cure it of the disease.” She named the hamster “Alchy”. The hamster consumed about a pint of bourbon a month and reportedly “seems to love it.” Eventually, Alchy refused to drink any more of the bourbon-water mixture, leading the Salina Journal to comment on Apr 25, 1958 that “the animal has more sense than some people.”
