I like optical illusions. So i don't try to see through them.

44 is not a good test to go by.

We also looked at radiologists just beginning training. Their illusion perception was no better than normal. It seems radiologists’ superior perception is a result of their extensive training.

According to current theories of expertise, this shouldn’t happen. Becoming an expert in chess, for example, makes you better at chess but not anything else. But our findings suggest that becoming an expert in medical image analysis also makes you better at seeing through some optical illusions.

Maybe some of them (all whopping 44) get slightly better at the size illusions because they spend all day looking at tons of what, in many cases, are freakin' optical illusions? Is X a shadow or tumour or fluid? Is X as big as it looks, or is only that way relative to other landmarks, shadows, and fluid? Y doesn't look like it's in the right place. Oh, wait a minute, which plane are we looking at? My bad, transverse view, it's fine.

That's not getting better at something different. It's a similar thing in a different package.

But what do I know? I'm just a chick on the internet.

I get our maple syrup in a regular canning jar from a local vendor. Most of what lines our grocery shelves is maple syrup from the northeastern U.S.A.

Mutated food is what I often find growing in containers in the back of the fridge.

As I recall, apple seeds don'r sprout a tree that produces the same apple that it was. I'd double check that, but can't trust what's on the internet. I did see an apple in the store that was labeled bubblegum.

Did not try it.

I know this small fact because I worked in one, and I'm probably telling you something here that you already know.

Unlike Glass, uncured Rubber does flow, albeit VERY slowly. I worked at a Firestone Tire Factory for 6 years prior to my employment with Motorola. This process was explained sometime during my orientation tour (I think), I never forgot it for some odd reason. I was a Maintenance Technician then, I worked in the Curing Department. Before a tire (or rubber) is cured, it's called 'green rubber'. That's what this link refers to. Once cured (Vulcanized or Baked) it is no longer Green, and does not flow at all. In learning and seeing how a tire is built/manufactured, I was shocked to learn that the components (sidewall, rim, tread, etc.) all different rubber compounds are just glued together. The tread of your tire is automatically, and precisely cut by the tread machine (Dang It, I can't remember that machine's name!). Its ends are glued together by the tire builder at the Tire Machine. That thought scares me. This is why if you allow your tires to become under inflated and overheat, the tire will fall apart. I don't care how good the manufacturing process was, it will fall apart. (Shred itself). Scary. Very Scary.

I don't know if this is the same thing..I love to watch glass blowers. I livecto watch the heated glass flow slowly into the shape wanted.

I believe everything is connected to everything else. Learned that with my heart..kidneys..and blood..everything connected.

I agree, my writing fits the false conception of glass flowing ever so slowly. Maybe I just need someone to light a fire under me to speed up the process.
