Perceptions

At first glance, this radar image may seem like just an ordinary radar image, but what if I told you that the dominant thunderstorm cell in this radar image looked like a human fetus? You undoubtedly see it now.

Others suggestions have a powerful impact on how we see things. Just a few weeks ago, a friend pointed out a street sign to me and proclaimed that it read "Firefox." At first glance, I read the sign as saying Firefox as well. This would have been humorous seeing as how a popular Internet browser goes by the same name. However, at second glance, I discovered that the street sign actually read "Fox Fire." This was vastly different from the word "Firefox," but my brain was tricked in to seeing what it wanted to see thanks to my friend's suggestion.

Your eyes may not always tell you the truth. It's best to double check things whenever possible.
