Your eyes can play tricks on you. Optical Illusions Pictures that confuse your eyes and brain, tricking them into seeing something differently, are called optical illusions. See if you can figure out these optical illusions.
(1)WHICH OBJECT IS TALLER?(None: They’re all the same size.)
(2)WHICH LINE IS LONGER? (Neither: They’re both the same.)
(3)IS THIS GRAY HAZE SHRINKING?
(Stare at the black dot. After a while the gray haze will appear to shrink.)
(4)DO THESE COLORED LINES BEND?
(No, they’re perfectly straight—but try telling your eyes that!)
(5)ARE THESE WHEELS SPINNING?
(Stare at the center. Now move your head back and forth toward and away from the page. The circles will appear to spin.)
(6)HOW MANY BLACK DOTS CAN YOU COUNT? (Look closely and you will see them.)
(7)DO YOU SEE TWO FACES OR A VASE?
(If you see one, close your eyes for a moment, then look for the other.)
(8)ARE THESE LINES STRAIGHT OR CROOKED?
(Yep, you guessed it. The horizontal lines look crooked, but they are perfectly straight.)
(9)ARE YOU SEEING RED, WHITE & BLUE? (Stare at the center of this flag for one minute. Then look at an empty white sheet and you’ll see a red, white and blue flag.)
HOW THIS FLAG WORKS
Your eyes see color as measures of red or green, blue or yellow and bright or dark. When you look at a green object for a long time, your eyes get tired and start seeing red. When you look at yellow, after a while you’ll start to see blue. And darkness turns into brightness. The result: Even this wacky flag can be good, old red, white and blue—after a while!

Huang is also a qualified underwater instructor
Besides the fact that sporting two LCDs on any computer makes you feel like a serious badass, it’s legitimately good for productivity. That’s what I tell myself, anyway. Neuro Logic Systems has created what they describe as “the world’s first dual 19-inch LCD in a vertical format.” The LCDs fold up from a horizontal position and are supported by no-nonsense gas struts, as well befits a piece of hardware designed for the military. It would be nice if civilian hardware manufacturers realized that even non-military sometimes takes a beating and stopped making laptop LCD hinges out of crappy plastic, but I digress. As you can see from the picture, the RFT-2L19 (catchy name, huh) is primarily designed to be used in a rack mount, but the NLS website does mention that it’s compatible with some sort of transport case. The displays themselves are somewhat unimpressive, at 1280 x 1024 max resolution, 250cd/m² brightness, 700:1 contrast, and VGA/DVI inputs. Personally I prefer my dual monitors to be oriented horizontally, but I’m willing to embrace anything that has the potential to give me more desktop real estate in a portable computer.

Taking its name from the Japanese word for convenience store, these health outlets offer coin-op workout stations for impulse exercising.The contraptions' foot pads churn up and down and back and forth at up to 1,560 times per minute. (One 500 yen coin — about $4.10 — buys 10 minutes.) Maintaining your balance while you shake supposedly has an aerobic effect, though users never break a sweat.
And in case girls are worried about pervs ogling their jiggle, many of the clubs are ladies-only or feature privacy partitions
