Rabbit or Duck?

Today is Tuesday, February 16, 2016.  Is it a rabbit or a duck?  Glowing paint and howling huskies.

Rabbit or a Duck?

A rabbit? or a duck?  Which do you see?

More than a 100 years after it was first sketched, a drawing has sparked huge reaction on social media.  Some see a rabbit and others see a duck.  Can you see both?

What you see (and how fast you see it) can indicate how quickly your brain works and how creative you are.  The duck-rabbit drawing was first used by American psychologist Joseph Jastrow in 1899 to make the point that perception is not only what one sees but also a mental activity.  Mr. Jastrow’s research was based on how quickly one can see the second animal and how fast participants could change their perception of the drawing to switch between the two animals.

The faster you can do this this, the quicker your brain works and the more creative you are, the research suggested.

Glowing Paint Rollers

Imogen Silversides posted a photo. It has more than 39,000 likes.

She says she was inspired to take advice from a viral Facebook status in which Amy Ridley claimed the secret to getting an even all-over glow was to apply it with a paint roller. Imogen decided to try the method after Amy shared a photo on Facebook commenting on how impressed she was with the results – in a post that has been liked more than 21,000 times.

Commenting on how Imogen looked, Amy wrote: ‘I would just like to say that on behalf of myself and my paint roller, I am sorry to the girl who now looks like the same colour as my dining room table but actually I’m not sorry you made my night.’

“Puppy Love”

They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

But for ‘Wookie’ the dog and his pack it appears the saying is false as these howling huskies sing the baritone to Donny Osmond’s “Puppy Love.”

It’s slightly off key.
