This little girl dances to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” just as well as he does; maybe even better.

This is an optical illusion by Edward H. Adelson who is a Professor of Vision Science at MIT.

Which square is darker - A or B?

Checker Shadow Illusion

The squares marked A and B are exactly the same shade of gray. If you don’t believe the answer, copy the image into your favorite graphics editor and check the colors. Or print the image, cut out the squares and hold them side by side. You’ll see they are identical.

Gecko in chicken egg Dr. Peter Beaumont, president of the Australian Medical Association in the Northern Territory , says he may have accidentally discovered how the potentially deadly salmonella bacteria gets inside chicken eggs.

Dr. Beaumont was cooking when he discovered a dead gecko between the inner shell and the membrane of a chicken egg he cracked open. He suspects the gecko entered the chicken before it entered the egg.

“Eggs are made inside chooks up this tube from their bottom. Now obviously this tube is in contact with the whole outside world. It has to be that the gecko climbed up inside the chook and died up there while the egg was being formed before the shell was put on it.”

He says the discovery could have wide reaching implications for the egg farming industry, as it may explain how the potentially deadly salmonella bacteria gets into eggs.

He says this could be something geckoes do regularly, and they could be responsible for infecting some eggs with salmonella.

“There are still people poisoned from salmonella from eggs and particularly from chickens that aren’t cooked properly and if there is a simple way of preventing eggs from becoming infected with salmonella, then it could have a significant public health gain.”

Dr Beaumont said his unusual find could be a world first. He has handed the remains of the egg to health authorities who will try to work out exactly how the gecko got inside the egg.

The Australian Egg Corporation said it had never heard of such a case before.

“Certainly the gecko wouldn’t have been ingested by the bird. It would be physically impossible for it to make its way from the digestive tract into the area where the egg’s formed,” said the corporation’s research and development manager, David Witcombe.

“So it’s a case of the gecko actually making its way through the cloaca of the bird and onto the developing egg.”

From the why didn’t I think of that department, no more touching of slobbery tennis balls!

From the youtube description

I built the ball machine because I thought my dog Jerry, might like it and that it would be something fun for me to build. So after two years of on and off work, with many safety features such as IR proximity sensors to protect Jerry and my son from the machine, I finally complete.

Far from being a replacement for me, I was always right there with him enjoying his fun. And with all the troubles that I went through to build the ball machine, I still end up throwing more balls than that the machine could count! According to the computer, he played with the machine by himself only 3 times in his life.

I recently put this video on YouTube to keep alive my earlier memories of him and (hopefully) provide some “humorous distractions” for anyone that might drop by.

Okay, so this is a custom built machine, but if you want you can get a commercial machine at BuyGoDogGo for $150.

Like the “Wash Me” messages scrawled on the back of delivery trucks, reverse graffiti is a method of creating graffiti on walls or other surfaces by removing dirt from a surface. It is usually done by removing dust or dirt with the fingertip(s) from windows or other dirty surfaces. Reverse graffiti on glass or windows can be highly visible due to the reflection of sunlight. Due to the lack of paint it is often considered legal and used for advertising, with companies such as Microsoft and Smirnoff advertising their products this way.

Reverse Graffiti

Brazilian artist Alexandre Orion turned one of Sao Paulo’s transport tunnel into a stunning mural. The mural, comprised of a series of skulls, very succinctly reminds drivers of the impact their emissions are having on the planet.

Try as they might, the Brazilian authorities couldn’t find anything to charge him with. The only option they had was to clean the tunnel - but only the parts Alexandre had already cleaned.

Cleaning Reverse Graffiti

After which, the artist continued his campaign on the other side of the street. This put the city officials in a quandary and they decided to take drastic action. Not only did they clean the entire tunnel but also every other tunnel in Sao Paulo.
