If you are in the USA, then please have an early Xmas present on me. The kindle edition of my book, Did you spot the gorilla?, is free today! Click here.
The ever gorgeous Phil Plait sent me this lovely profile-apple illusion….
And @medtek brought my attention to this…..
Which one works best for you?
Hmm, didn’t quite get the second one. I understand why it should work and if I look at the heads so the arms in my periphery then it kind of looks like the girl on the left is tugging rather forcefully on the boob of the girl on the right, but looking down any further it becomes obvious quite quickly ;:(
Erm…
not sure what a ;:( is!
Apple the.
Top one as I can still see both images. As soon as I worked out the bottom I can only see one image.
The bottom one (rude?) looked weird to me. Apple was neat, but neither really grabbed me.
Bottom one gave me a real double take, but it’s difficult to see the rude version after a second look.
Apple is nice, but I think could be be done a little less obviously with some more stylised faces
Same here
Here same
I totally agree, the apple one is too easy. And you can flip backwards and forwards between the two images easily. The rude one took me totally by suprise, but when you realise what it really is you wonder how you ever got it wrong in the first place. Jusat goes to show we must be hardwired to spot nudity!
I see Dalai Lama and Bill Clinton in the first one. I wonder if others see different people. I like the first one, but I don’t care much for the second one.
I saw Steve Jobs and Bill Gates… I presumed it was something to do with the Apple in the background.
She looks like she’s got the boob of a 90 year old.
AH HA HA HA!!!!!! THE rude one!
Might have seen this one in the same vein:

The first one (the apple) is a bit obvious, I think, but it’s okay. With the second one, once you realise what you’re looking at, you can’t go back to seeing it any other way.
I’ve never seen a tit that looks like that. First one.
an apple,a profile,or two and a tittie twister,a very merry christmas to all !!!!!!!!!!
“lovely profile-apple illusion” I think someone needs to look up the definition of lovely
Until I read the text I didn’t realise the first picture was anything other than a picture of a melted candle. However I still struggle to see the second one without concentrating to see the arm.
I guess that says something about how my mind works!
I wish I could get the book here in Canada.
