My mom sent me this cool visual intelligence test.
There are two pictures virtually identical to each other; you have to find three differences. If you can find three differences, then you are part of an elite group of individuals. This has been tested on many people, and hardly anyone found the three differences.

I can only manage to find 2. Guess I'm woefully average.

1. I recognise that URL.
Someone else posted it about a year ago. No WAY am I clicking that link. (Sometimes a photographic memory is a useful thing.)

4. Even if this thing hadn't been a recycled prank
It would still be suspicious due to the swf at the end of the file. That means its animated. Specifically a Shockwave File.

This joke is about 5 yeasr old as I recall it. Now that doesn't mean that you have heard of it before. Just letting you know so you understand where some of the comments are coming from.

go here and find a whole bunch of fun things to explore.

5. It's not just 'not funny,' it's sadistic
I'll never understand the kind of mind that enjoys inflicting pain on others.

7. My apologies.
I've never considered myself sadistic. A little goofy at Halloween maybe, but not sadistic. Beg pardon for posting this. Please forgive me.

9. OKAY FOLKS. NEVER MIND. DO NOT GO TO THIS LINK!!!!
Edited on Fri Oct-28-05 07:31 PM by Pacifist Patriot
It is a Halloween prank with gray hair. Not for the faint of heart. Do NOT click on this link. Don't do it.

I beg forgiveness and will never do anything like this ever again.

It is a scary face replacing the two bucolic pictures of a boat sailing up a river among cliffs. There are no differences between the two pictures. It's a joke. Apparently a sick joke.'

Don't click on the link!

And if anyone who thought this was sadistic emails it to a Republican friend or relative...a pox on you for hypocrisy. ;)

18. That's the funniest thing I've seen all day! And it gave me a jolt!
Ah, European comedy at it's best!

Wait for it....wait for it.....BRAGGGHHHHHH!!!!

Thanks for the nice Holiday laugh/scare!

I can only laugh at the millions who must have freaked the fuck out when the face showed up after staring at the two pictures! HA!!! Then again, my comic sensibility always has a sadistic edge to it.
