Fish Eyes Optical Illusion



via Mighty Optical Illusions http://www.moillusions.com/fish-eyes-optical-illusion/

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been doing a good bit of funny optical illusion posts on the site lately. I hope you all don’t mind, as I know you all most like brain teasers, but the holidays are quickly approaching and I’m just hoping to put a smile on all of your faces and hopefully you all have a good laugh to make your day a little bit brighter. I promise I’ll get back to doing some more brain teaser optical illusions very soon, but I have another funny optical illusion that I would definitely like to share with all of you today. This is one of those optical illusions that will almost trick you at first, but you’ll quickly realize what’s going on in the picture. I thought it was funny, so I hope you all do, as well. I refer to this one as the “fish eyes optical illusion.”


Fish Eyes Optical Illusion





This optical illusion definitely gets you at first, because you think that it’s just a picture of a woman, but then you realize that she’s holding a couple fish up to her eyes. I know it may be a bit goofy, but I thought it was funny and I really hope you all do, as well. If you liked this optical illusion please feel free to rate it or leave a comment and let me know how you feel about it. I’m just hoping I achieved my goal of making you guys and gals smiles. Also, feel free to share this with your friends, because if it made you laugh, it will probably make your friends laugh, too.

Fir Dovetail Box

Fir Dovetail Box


This is the 2nd box i’ve made in my life time. The wood is reclaimed from Ballpark bench seating (there was a lot of frustration in the “reclaiming” process). Since i used 1/2 blind dovetails i cut the dados on my table saw. The rough cuts for the box were done on the table/band saw and final dimensioning/joinery was done with hand tools.


I used deft gloss finish on the outside of the box and on the underside of the top. Spraying the underside of the top with gloss was a bad idea as it left a residual smell. I rubbed a bit of lemon zest on the inside to try to cover up the smell, but the net result is that it ended up smelling like a urinal cake. =\


I used this box to ship a friend a nintendo USB controller and a little Mario USB drive with some NES emulator software+roms (the games we use to play years ago). I stuck the USPS label right to the bottom and dropped it off at the post office. I’ll ask him to send a picture when he gets it to see what kind of shape its in.

Kodak could make a nuclear weapon! Learn why.

Kodak could make a nuclear weapon! Learn why.

The word "camera" comes to mind when you think of the company Kodak, so you're probably just as surprised as we were when we found out that Kodak kept a nuclear reactor a secret for more than 30 years. The reactor was kept in an underground basement in Rochester, New York.




Kodak bought the reactor in 1974, which was known as a Californium Neutron Flex multiplier, which was filled with 3.5 pounds of uranium plates, the type of material used to make nuclear weapons.




The device was kept in a bunker with 2-foot thick walls and was always under tight security. One two of these devices were ever built!




Kodak claims that the device was completely safe, and that they used it for decades to conduct research, and check materials for impurities!




The local police and fire departments were completely unaware of the nuclear reactor's existence!
