Poor Man's Song

A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the man next to him pull a wad of hundred dollar bills out of his wallet. He turns to the rich man and says to him,
"I have an amazing talent: I know almost every song that has ever existed."
The rich man laughs. The poor man says,"I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it."
The rich man laughs again and says, "Ok how about my daughters name, Joanna Armstrong-Miller."
The rich man goes home poor. The poor man goes home rich.

What did the poor man sing?

Answer: Happy Birthday

Seeing is Believing... right?

If you stare at the blinking pink dots, you will see only one color, pink.

If you look at the the + in the center, you will see a circle of pink dots and a rotating green dot.

Now, stare at the + without moving your eyes.

The pink dots will disappear and you will see only a rotating green dot.

It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot and the pink ones don't really disappear. You may not always see what you think you see.

 

Who's In There?

Can you find the face?

Hint: Look at the bottom.
