optical illusions

Optical illusions can play some really weird tricks on our brains. We think we're looking at one thing and then... sike! It's something else. Honestly, what the heck. But you know the best type of illusions? The photograph kind, because they can be all sorts of awesome, strange and funny...

Before you go and forward this photo as a hilarious example of beard growth gone awry, look closely. It's like a Magic Eye picture made with actual people. Take it all in.

Optical illusions are defined as “visually perceived images that differ from objective reality.” Basically, your mind is playing tricks on your eyeballs. Or vice versa. How the hell should we know, we’re not doctors. We had to look up optical illusion in a dictionary.
