FRISWELL'S FREAKY FEATURES: A Trick of the eye

Some months ago Alan Friswell, the bloke who made the CFZ Feegee Mermaid and also the guy responsible for some of the most elegantly macabre bloggo postings, wrote me an email.

He had an idea for a new series for the bloggo. Quite simply he has an enormous collection of macabre, fortean, odd and disturbing magazine and newspaper articles, and he proposed to post them up on the bloggo.

I love optical illusions. After all, can we really believe what our eyes reveal to us? If the latest findings and theories of quantum physics are sound, then the universe that we have always perceived to be 'real' may be no more than a holographic stage set, with us as the unwitting actors--or thereabouts....

Anyway, here's a great but simple trick for Halloween. Just look at the skeleton's nose for about thirty seconds, and then stare at a dark wall or door. The skull should appear as white, while the cowl will be blue.
