poc may want to come back to SF when she hears about...

The Mrs Robinson Society:

forgive me, but that's altogether too weird.


Hey, welcome back!  How have you been?


i've been great! just returned from a two-week honeymoon in france. spent a week driving around lovely bretagne, and then a weekend in st. jean d'angély (where i used to live) with friends, and a few days in paris. god, i love the food: raw oysters and mussels, and all sorts of other things i only know how to say in french. then there's the sausage and cheese and wine and buckwheat whiskey and crepes and snails and frog legs and desserts and...sigh. there was a museum in there somewhere.

Got this the other day via the office grapevine, then they were talking about it on the Morning Show this am:

Which way is the dancer spinning?
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22556281-661,00.html

(True to my nature (and my occupation), I see her going anticlockwise; took me quite awhile to see it the other way.)

i am finding it quite impossible to see her dancing any way BUT clockwise.

I'm with POC on this one; I can only see clockwise.

I'm demonstrably weird, I definitely saw it counter-clockwise the first time, before I even read anything about it being possible to see it go both ways.  After I read that & tried to see it the other way it happened pretty quickly that I could, and then it was nearly impossible to see it go counter-clockwise anymore.   Looked at it again just now & first I saw clockwise, and then I saw counter-clockwise.  

I guess I literally can't make up my mind.

I saw clockwise.  Then, reading the text, i glanced back and she was going counter.  Back to text, then back, and she's going clockwise again.  Can't get it to go back.

(Discovered this on Marcus' blog page on the BCO site. Well worth the 5 minutes or so.)
