They’re talking about it.
Another one for the Awwwww category, only this time it’s true.
A baby hippopotamus that survived the tsumani waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strong bond with a giant male century-old tortoise, in an animal facility in the port city of Mombasa. [click to continue…]
I turned 21 years old in 1990. From about ’90 – ’93, I was an aspiring drummer in college studying computer music, working at an electronic drum factory making electronic versions of my favorite instrument. It was a good set-up. My buddy Dan, the most mechanically-inclined dude you’d ever meet, owned the drum company. We had a huge shop at the 300 block of W. 130th Street at Broadway, in an industrial pocket on the outskirts of the the shady hood of Los Angeles. I consider this an integral chapter in my formative years. The 1992 Los Angeles riots happened during this time in my life.
And I thought I already had mine down. =view lesson=

I love this one. Which direction is our gal spinning: clockwise or counter-clockwise?
Look closely. You’ll initially see her on her left foot spinning clockwise, or on her right foot spinning counter-clockwise. Look again. Try to mentally change the direction. Ride that line and see if you can control what you see. If you find it difficult to reverse the direction of her spin, concentrate on switching her feet.
Upon careful observation of her shadow, you’ll see that she is in fact on her left foot, spinning clockwise.

Backstory remains unverified, yet still worthy of the Awwwww category. (*Update 06.26.07: Photos are real; backstory is indeed unsurprisingly fiction.)
