FedEx are the latest company to fail on delivering to my address. According to the website, my modest delivery was signed for by a 'R.HUNTER', as apparently I've been out (apart from being in all day, with two dogs that bark whenever there's someone at the door, and two other people besides) and they delivered to the neighbours. Except they didn't, as I've just checked.

Look at the dots. Some appear to go black. Mark

It's actually better if there aren't any dots, because your eyes put dots in at the intersections. It's a very clever (and slightly annoying) visual trick.

While I can somewhat see what you mean, for some reason I don't think that illusion works for me as well as it does for others (I don't think the effect is as strong) Here's some more: http://www.squidoo.com/optical__illusions

Does anyone else think there's a similarity between the Joker (played by Jack Nicholson) and El Gordo when he does the smile thing?
