How smart is your right foot?

It is from an orthopaedic surgeon . . . this will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you cannot. It's pre-programmed in your brain!
  1. WITHOUT anyone watching you (they will think you are goofy) and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
  2. Now, while doing this draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction. I told you so! And there is nothing you can do about it! Before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you have not done so already.
I've given up doing it... just hopeless

Some PhD supervisors are just down witht the kids...

or their PhDs. Got this send by the colleague.
Student: "How long do you want this report to be?"
Professor: "I would like you to think of this paper much like a lady's dress - long enough to cover the subject, yet short enough to keep it interesting."

God bless America

In full length and as funny as on the first day I saw it.

Bow Chicka Wow Wow - Dinner Party

To PhD or not to PhD, that is the question

I wished I have read this before I agreed to do it... I could have saved me so much lack of emphais in my life, so much frustations and could have won so much joys of life. Yeah I am talking about the well known syndrom of Permanent Head Damage, or in short PhD. This article (pdf) discusses the pros and cons of doing a PhD in the computers science area. Nevermind the focus of the article it is still a good read for every single lost soul who thinks about whether to do it or not.
Enjoy the read my future coleagues ;-)

Optical PC Illusions

I've got this send to me by a friend. It is really amazing how easy it is to fool our brain ;-) My favourite is the number 6 - is a bit freaky though.
These are very interesting - be sure to take the time to observe # 7 as instructed - they are all amazing...
1)

Is This Possible??

3)



Are the purple lines straight or bent?

4)


Do you see gray areas in between the squares?
5)


You should see a man's face and also a word...
Hint: Try tilting your head to the right, the world begins with 'L'
6)



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 itWeird ?
