A simple pass - fail test.

I want you to focus on the parrot for 10 seconds.



Please post your results

I think I'd take a bite from the parrot over what that thing might do.

Now whenever I look away at the ceiling or wall and blink really fast I see the inverse image... did I stare too long?

She has a balence issue - I think that can be taken care of with a gentle wet buffing followed by spirited pounding. Looks to be a tough job but I'm up for the work.

I showed it to Steve ----

He looked for a bit and I moved it away. I said, "did you pass?" He said "yes".

I was a little surprised and queried - "really? You looked at the parrot for 10 seconds?"

He said...."What parrot? There's a parrot there?"
