Anagrams are revealing

Anagrams sometimes seem to reveal much more than you’d think they could. One of my recent favorites:

Gregory House = “Huge ego, sorry.”

If you’re a House fan, you know that’s right on the money!

With the announcement of Comcast services getting renamed to “Xfinity,” I thought I’d see what the anagram reveals:

Comcast Xfinity = Nifty Toxic Scam

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!

Watching other people’s stuff

I’m at Starbucks working on my laptop and a guy comes over to me. He points to the table where he’s sitting and his expensive-looking Sony Vaio.

“Excuse me, but could you watch my stuff for a moment? I’m just going over to the counter to order something.”

I hate when people do that. How aggressive does he expect me to be if somebody wants his things? I let him know exactly what he could expect from me.

“Sure, I’ll watch it but if somebody grabs it and runs off, I’m not going to chase him down. I will however let you know.”

When he came back with his stuff, he smiled and said, “My stuff’s still there!”

I recall a case years ago where a person asked somebody else to watch their things. The stuff was stolen and the person watching the things was sued. Is it no wonder we have to protect ourselves even when we’re doing somebody a favor?

My favorite optical illusion.

I’ve always loved optical illusions, but this one by far is my favorite. Why? Some ask a question such as, “which line is longer?” By the way it’s worded, you know it’s really a trick question and that the lines are probably the same length, even though they may not quite look that way.

This one however makes you say, “no way!” I had to drop the image into a graphic program and look at the RGB values before I was convinced. Even still, I’m shocked whenever I look at the image. The brain is really amazing in its interpretations.

Enjoy!
