Illusion!

If you take a look at the following picture , let me tell you ... it is not animated. Your eyes are making it move. To test this, stare at one spot for a couple seconds and everything will stop moving. Or look at the black center of each circle and it will stop moving. But move your eyes to the next black center and the previous will move after you take your eyes away from it.... Weird

From mouths of babes

"My two Papaws no game, they don't have dice."

This quote refers to the fact that neither of her grandfathers are gamers. It came out the blue a few days ago while we were sitting at the table having something to eat.

For those of you that don't know me, I have a daughter that's 2 and a half. Her vocabulary and verbal skills are growing at an rate that leaves her mother and me at a loss sometimes (OK, often). She is doomed to a gamer I fear. Her mother used to game with us periodically but gave it up to work on her Doctorate. So our daughter has been around gaming since before she was born. We have a group that plays at my house most Saturday afternoons. Although I've known all of these guys since WELL before she was born she refers to them as "my guys" and told us several weeks ago that "all my guys like my daddy", which is good I suppose. She is around quite a bit when we play and has picked up on some of the key things needed to be a gamer. Hence the quote about dice.

3 things to think about

My mother sent me this and I find it more accurate than is comfortable.


Three Things to think about:

1. COWS
2. THE CONSTITUTION
3. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS


COWS

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing
that our government can track a cow born in Canada
almost three years ago, right to the stall where she
sleeps in the state of Washington and they tracked her
calves to their stalls? But they are unable to locate
11 million illegal aliens wandering around our
country. Maybe we should give them all a cow.


THE CONSTITUTION

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for
Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written
by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over
200 years and we're not using it anymore.



TEN COMMANDMENTS

The real reason that we can't have the Ten
Commandments in a courthouse........You can't post
"Thou Shalt Not Steal," and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full
of lawyers, judges and politicians -- it creates a
hostile work environment.
