There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can.
....
The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.
Simmons - At first I thought this was a Black Eye Peas reference but it turned out to be Joni Mitchell. It took a little work but luckily not too much.
Anon - Exactly. And your eyes invert the image so your brain is looking at things upside down. So apparently if things are upside down and your brain sees them right side up, you get confused.
Kathy - I refuse to see the actual picture. I like the illusion better.
Thank you for flipping that photo.
ReplyDeleteSue -Even after seeing it flipped, I can't look at the upside down one and have it make sense.
ReplyDeleteThat's very clever. I had to enlarge the second one to see it was hands holding a seedling in dirt.
ReplyDeleteRiver - So THAT'S what that is. I knew it was probably something else but I was staying with my first impression.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how our eyes are Tricked
ReplyDeleteAdam - It's almost too easy.
ReplyDeleteI've looked at peas from both sides now from top to bottom and still somehow it's peas illusions I recall..I really don't know peas at all.

ReplyDeleteI prefer these illusions to the illusions of competence and legality being hawked by the GOP.
ReplyDeleteIts your brain that sees. Eyes are merely sensors.
ReplyDeleteI still couldn't figure out the second one until I read River's comment. Then I couldn't see anything else there.
ReplyDeleteYes, the flipped photo looks MUCH more real upside down!
ReplyDeleteJust a reflection - I got that right away. But the gardening company ad - now that is a hooot.
ReplyDeleteBill - I agree 100%.

Deb - To say the least!
Lady - It's an attention grabber for sure.
