Top 3 World's Greatest Illusions

The top three visual illusions were chosen last week at a gathering of neuroscientists and psychologists at the Naples Philharmonic Center for The Arts in Florida. LiveScience

The Sex Illusion
The third place award went for the below pair of pictures below. One appears to be male and the second appears to be female. The truth is they are the same identical photo for one person but each one is digitally enhanced to create this incredible illusion. In the female picture, the dark parts are a little lighter and the light parts are a little darker. The subtle changes suggest that one way our brains may sort out sex is to notice how strong the contrast is between features. This illusion is created by Richard Russel of Harvard University.

Mysterious Mass Bee Deaths

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left." Albert Einstein

Bees are dying faster and faster everyday. This is not a good sign because they are the one and most creature that contributes in the pollination of flowers and plants. They are responsible for the production of the best element ever known to man, Honey.

For 2 years, scientists have been studying those sudden mysterious deaths and so far they couldn't come up with one exact answer, they came up with a million theories but not answers.

World's Hairiest Man - A Chinese Rockstar!

(Click to Enlarge)
This walking" bear rug" is 26-year-old Yu Zhenhuan of China, and 96 percent of his body is covered with hair. Yu’s pubelike pelt sprouts from everywhere but his palms and soles, to the tune of 41 hairs per square centimeter. What’s worse, his mane actually made Yu sick. His locks snaked so far into his ear that they not only caused him earaches and nausea but also cut off a third of his hearing. Luckily, a recent operation cleared out the old growth, which could have spelled trouble for Yu’s current career as a rock singer.
