Thought Provoking

Cool.  Only the parts that I am not focusing on move for me... the stuff in my peripheral vision.  And the more or less you jitter your eye around the more or less they move.  So I guess criminals have wandering eyes 

BF, there are some real cool "stereo 3D" images floating around out there now where you cross your eyes and look at the picture and they make a totally dimensional image.  Very cool stuff... will see if I can find some links for you...

Hi All,

Someone sent me this and it’s driving me mad (It didn't take much). I would be grateful if one of you could provide an explanation of how this works.

I have tried looking through my fingers and also copying the second page just in case there was someway this site could track my eye movement.

Now I am worried because I have found that if I focus on a wrong answer then that's the answer that it comes up with. The camera on my computer is off. Microsoft we have a problem.

How unobservant of me. There are many repeat answers in the grid.

[davidslane]

The answers can only be:

81, 72, 63, 54, 45, 36, 27, 18, and 9.

Each time through the game, you will see those 9 entries are the same.

No matter what two-digit number you choose, once you do the little subtraction trick, you will end up with one of the following numbers: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81. And if you look at the grid closely, you will see that the same gift is in each of those numbered boxes. The grid changes each time, but those boxes will always share the same item.

I was starting to get spooked.

Gee, that works just like the US Government.


And John Q. Public tell us he wants .........   

See it's all so simple you always get what the majority want.

Hi All

Thanks to everyone that replied.

Not least to DSL. Welcome back to our midst again (it was very remiss of me not to have said that sooner).

Haven't actually left, just not much to post.
Fallen out of low with uranium and micro caps.
Still keep tabs on the postings though.


Don't actively trade much anymore and the conversation here is a bit too thick on day trading and politics so I'm focusing on work, family and baseball!


I like coming by every few months though and dumping a prediction and then gloating if I'm right aobut it months later.


Here was my latest comments on the market from a week ago:

Weren't you and Angel fan or something, david? 

I keep waiting to hear you give your sell signal.  You were right on last time you gave the big red light on the commodities.  No pressure though... heh...

hope all is well otherwise.

A common sense approach:

Catherine Austin Fitts quotes Confucius:
"The way out is through the door. Why is it that no one will use this method?"

I think that she comes as close as anyone I have listened to in answering the question too.

I have just read in one UK publication that 1.5 million 50 peso coins minted by the Chilean mint have been found to have the county’s name spelt wrongly on them.
The coins have CHIIE  stamped on them. The coins where issued in 2008 but no one noticed the error until a coin collector pointed out the error in October (2009).

Fancy taking nearly 12 months to notice that the name of your own country was spelt wrongly.

GOD BLESS AMERIICA (as they say in Chile).

I put this here because it's .... well........... thought provoking.

OK here’s my international news contribution for the month.  I miss roaming around SE Asia and one of the places that’s really kinda OK so long as you are not a complete Moron is Pattya, which is now, thanks to the new airport built in a former swamp about equal distance from landing as Bangkok.  Pattya was a big destination for the troops on R&R during the Vietnam days.  My exposure to the place spans nearly 45 years so I have watched as many changes took place over the years.  There have been many changes but the one thing which has remained and must be the only purpose for Pattya to exist is, that it is a sexual Disney Word and Smithsonian institute for the study of how to F*&^ yourself up good fashion if you are a Moron.

 One of my favorite subjects in the land that's Siam is the “Flying Farangs” or those who join the “Pattya Flying club”.  However, that is not the only way to lose all that is dear to you in this tropical playground.  The link should be all that’s necessary for a grand laugh. The Iranian dude involved is likely a dead man and just doesn’t know it yet.  Don’t click on this if you can’t read about tawdry exploits and unnatural conjugal  union between stupid Iranians and men who look like women but aren’t totally “fixed” yet.  If you do look at the site make sure you read the comments section below the news article it’s as entertaining as the article itself. 

This is from a local paper so look around and especially the story about the new drug that all the rage among the Thai youth …  It’s truly a bizarre place

What the heck here's the drug story link too

HI SW

For 30,0000 Baht (£597, or $907.17, or CAD 968, or €673.25). That’s not a high price to even consider reporting the crime when compared to the consequences back home (almost wherever you live). It leads me to thinking that the benefits of living in an oil rich country haven’t filtered down to that country’s ordinary citizens. That’s thought provoking in itself.

You’ve certainly lived life to the full. You could make a good living as an after dinner speaker/ raconteur.
