Hi there. First, if you have a background in psychology and are looking for a position as a research assistant, you might be interested in this project looking at the psychology of precognitive experiences (I will be involved in some of the work).
OK, so…..what do you see when you look at this?
The image was kindly sent to me by Patrick L….. what did you see and what does that say about you?

Now I see three pigs.
September 29, 2010 at 5:42 am
Oh! Pigs!

Found this in my Google Reader tonight.
September 29, 2010 at 5:41 am |
Well…er not sure how to word it politely so you can guess what I saw initially but scrolling down the bit where balls should be gives it away. What is it? Some kind of over excited vegetable?
September 29, 2010 at 5:42 am |
3 little pigs
September 29, 2010 at 5:42 am |
Well you can guess what my first impression was….OMG! Not before breakfast….tried to see it as something else, hid the screen from my nosey son…..
Tried seeing it from a different persective but felt like I was being corruputed and now I am intrigued as to what I am actually looking at!
September 29, 2010 at 5:43 am |
Is it a naked man with a pig’s head for testicles?
September 29, 2010 at 5:44 am |
Ahhhh! Three pigs (blushes)
September 29, 2010 at 5:44 am |
It obviously looks a bit like a guy’s penis and thighs, but a second look discounts that because there’s a lot of things that don’t fit.
I couldn’t tell what it was, though, until I looked at the image filename..
September 29, 2010 at 5:45 am |
Well there goes the last of my pretence at full heterosexuality…
September 29, 2010 at 5:45 am |
Pigs
September 29, 2010 at 5:48 am |
Piglets. Initially I thought it was some misshapen potato or something, but upon closer inspection I saw the three little piggies
September 29, 2010 at 5:50 am |
WAAAAAH! Bad brain! Bad, bad brain!!!!!
September 29, 2010 at 5:53 am |
3 pigs. What does this say about me? – I’m seeing other websites. Sorry Richard to be such a floozie!
September 29, 2010 at 5:53 am |
I see a man’s club-like diddlegeroo. What does that say about me? That I’m human.
September 29, 2010 at 7:57 am
But evidentally trying to transcend your humanity by learning an alien language.
September 29, 2010 at 11:01 am
Well.. this comment shocked me more than the picture, since you and I have the same name.
Me: Wait.. what did I say? When did I say that?
September 29, 2010 at 5:55 am |
At first glance, it appeared to be a withered old crone, but I looked at it again and saw a beautiful maiden. Weird.
September 29, 2010 at 5:59 am |
I saw something phalic then tried to convince myself it was a mishaped vegetable before realising what it actually was.
September 29, 2010 at 6:04 am |
A piglet squished between two adult pigs. What were we supposed to see?…..Oh it’s like that is it?
September 29, 2010 at 6:05 am |
Food porn
September 29, 2010 at 6:07 am |
Well whatever it is it goes “wee wee wee”. Sorry, I know it’s a bad joke.
September 29, 2010 at 10:02 am
Noadi. That’s Brilliant!
LOL… I mean, really LOL.
September 29, 2010 at 2:37 pm
wee, wee, wee
hee, hee, hee
Loved the play on words!
September 29, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Lol. Good one, Noadi! My hubby didn’t see what it really was until I told him your wee wee wee joke.
September 29, 2010 at 6:48 am |
immediately – the victim of botched genital surgery
2 seconds – a misshapen vegetable
5 seconds – 3 pigs
September 29, 2010 at 6:51 am |
Wiseman you lecherous cad. You should know better than to post your…
Oh…
They’re pigs…
September 29, 2010 at 7:03 am |
Well, I see it now people have mentioned pigs. But yeah, I saw a botched genital surgery shown from below.
September 29, 2010 at 7:17 am |
ooh er missus! It was a strange penis untill I read the first comment.
September 29, 2010 at 7:32 am |
Genitals for one second, then I saw the middle pig’s face, and was like ‘OH, it’s three pigs’. Haha.
September 29, 2010 at 8:35 am |
Goodness knew the middle was a little piggy right away…..but will admit for a few seconds thought …..there is a name for that kind of thing and where I come from that ain’t legal! Bad Bad Richard! then moved the page down some more and knew it was two greedy grown pigs that were trying to send that little piggy weeee weee weee all the way home without supper.
September 30, 2010 at 3:02 am
OMG OMG I have now read several dozen answers and so far NO ONE has seen what I first saw! I saw a little pig right off but thought I also saw two male thighs and thought of a well known fact among those that are familiar with animals and pigs….pigs will eat anything….. sooooo ……ewwww…..ohhh the hair pattern is the same as the little piggy….ahhh…..3 pigs…. as said my first thought ain’t legal where I live….lol… oh dear I guess I spend too much time with critters and not around……ummm….humans.
September 29, 2010 at 8:35 am |
Hahahaha…Damn my filthy mind! Cute middle pig!!
September 29, 2010 at 8:40 am |
First look, only the top of the picture, “Uh thats a strange penis top, whats that little projection!”
first look the whole picture, “uh oh, looks like a small dog standing underneath a persons’s knee!”
second look, “Thats a very strange thigh hair patterns pattern! wait a minutes, those are pigs, two big and one piglet!”
what does it say about me?no idea other than saying that I have good observation skills.
September 29, 2010 at 9:08 am |
I thought it was a guy sitting naked on a glass table as seen from below but then I thought it can’t be cos the thighs are strange and it looks like he’s somehow mutated or something if thats what it is. All kinds of things ran through my head as to what it might be and then I realised eventually that it was three pigs.. the one in the middle is a piglet.
September 29, 2010 at 10:00 am
would not want to have been that photographer! lol
September 29, 2010 at 11:19 am
@lilabyrd Speak for yourself! LMAO
September 29, 2010 at 9:20 am |
I thought about a classic porn shot but it wasn’t quite right. Then first comment about pigs. Alright.
September 29, 2010 at 10:23 am |
Today: ‘Oh, Richard’s found the picture of the pigs, as seen on Tumblr a couple of days ago.’
A couple of days ago: It took a few seconds to work out what it really was, but I did not actually think the obvious, more like ‘What is that? It is obviously posed to confuse.’
I think that visiting Richard’s site has affected my viewing of other sites, always now questioning the content of ‘shocking’ photos like this one, and also photos purporting to show dead people.
September 29, 2010 at 10:36 am |
I absolutely saw what you wanted me to see, as did my husband. Took a while to work out what it really was, now I can only see piggies!!
September 29, 2010 at 10:38 am |
When I first saw this in my RSS reader, I was like “How did this end up in my inbox?” Then I looked closer and realized what it was. What does it say about me? Hm…
September 29, 2010 at 10:46 am |
A giant COCK
September 29, 2010 at 10:56 am |
I think it says about me: I shouldn’t have visited chatroulette
September 29, 2010 at 10:56 am |
Once I’d got over the initial shock of what I thought it to be, I deduced that given the comparative size of the piglet versus its parents, the part of the body the piglet is mistaken for would be far wider in girth and longer in length than I would assume would be anatomically possible. Suffice it to say that should there be an adult human male with the anatomy the picture initially represents, he’d find it very difficult to reproduce by conventional means…
September 29, 2010 at 11:13 am |
You can’t fool me with your Evolutionist mind tricks. I KNOW what I saw.
September 29, 2010 at 11:42 am |
Castrated sitting White man . From the mouse (not birds) eye view
September 29, 2010 at 12:00 pm |
2 pigs and a piglette bewtween. I can see the resemblence male anatomy as well.
September 29, 2010 at 12:58 pm |
Dammit, goatse.
September 29, 2010 at 1:09 pm |
I’ll be damned, now you can get POV pigs…
September 29, 2010 at 1:10 pm |
When I opened the site my browser cut off the lower part of the picture which made me think OMG that guy has one misshapen huge cock. Then when I scrolled down I saw the pigs head and I only thought “How funny my browser cut that part off”
Lucky I am a woman and am supposed to see dicks in anything LOL
September 29, 2010 at 1:29 pm |
pigs
September 29, 2010 at 1:30 pm |
At first it looked like some male human body parts, but then I saw it was 3 pigs a baby one in the middle
September 29, 2010 at 1:30 pm |
Reverend Horton Heat has a song called “Nurture My Pig” that comes to mind when I view this.
September 29, 2010 at 1:33 pm |
You shouldn’t have said “find out if you have a dirty mind” in your tweet, now I have no idea what I would have seen if I had been unprepared… Knowing what kind of picture it would be (and what it would not be
) I instantly saw that it was actually three pigs.
September 29, 2010 at 1:41 pm |
Legs apart, massive cock.
September 29, 2010 at 1:48 pm |
haha..saw the obviously first thought that most got then the pigs.
September 29, 2010 at 2:26 pm |
What it looks like: for a couple of seconds it looks like a naked man with a massive stiffy, then it becomes obvious that it’s some pigs.
What it says about me: I am well within the normal bell curve for pattern matching
September 29, 2010 at 2:32 pm |
Immediately I saw a large penis between two legs, although something seemed off. As soon as I scrolled down a tad to reveal the piglet’s eyes, I was able to determine the true subjects of the photo. I don’t know quite what that says about me! LOL
September 29, 2010 at 4:25 pm |
Three pigs!
September 29, 2010 at 5:26 pm |
OH Gosh O_o”
ิyou make me shocked Richard

What I see is immaterial compared to what my boss thinks he sees when he glances at my computer screen while walking behind me. Jeeze.
September 30, 2010 at 2:29 am
ROFLMAO!!!!!!
September 30, 2010 at 11:15 am
LOL!!!
September 29, 2010 at 6:31 pm |
On order of perception:
1) an indecent pose of male
2) some tree or a mutant daikon
3) 2 pigs and a piglet
September 29, 2010 at 6:45 pm |
Took forever for me to figure out it was pigs. I don’t think it says anything about people who see it as a pair of legs and a penis, it’s cropped and arranged intentionally to make us see that. It may say a lot more about the person who created the image.
September 29, 2010 at 9:16 pm |
I saw the bottom of a hermaphrodite….
September 29, 2010 at 9:33 pm |
What do you see on this Pic ? A studys result says that kids under 5 see the nine dolphins only, while older kids and adults see the lovers.

I initially saw a smaller picture posted on facebook…It wasn’t until I opened this page and saw a bigger picture that I realized what it really is
September 30, 2010 at 11:06 am |
At As I scrolled down the first half of the pic I thought – male genitialia with a case of gigantism but as I scrolled down fully I saw the three pigs.
September 30, 2010 at 12:03 pm |
an NSFW tag would have been nice, god knows what people at work would have thought if they walked past. Despite that clearly 3 pigs or a very deformed man
September 30, 2010 at 12:03 pm |
At first I thought it some tree branches, or a mutant potato/parsnip/vegetable. Possibly in the shape o someone rather endowed.
Then I saw the pigs heads.
September 30, 2010 at 9:56 pm |
I’m glad my boss wasn’t over my shoulder
October 1, 2010 at 12:32 pm |
a small piglet amongst two bigger pigs!!!

November 26, 2010 at 8:15 pm |

December 1, 2010 at 4:49 pm |
Lol….. i must admit, i did think it was a… well… you know!
but then saw the small head between the two adult pigs!
so, 3 pigs!
December 21, 2010 at 2:27 pm |
