So, I get an error message when I go to Forum but I can post this, anybody else here??

I think this is a cool optical illusion.

[TSchmereL]

I don’t think so.

Look how dark the squares are around the “B” in the comparison. I think the illusion is that just because the letters say “exact same shade” does not mean it is true.

[TSchmereL]

All you have to do is use your fingers to cover up as much of the image as you can except “A” and “B” and you see that they are not the exact same shade of gray.

[MaryFromMichigan]

My first thought, too.
That’s why I put them side by side.
If you have a graphic program, try it for yourself.
You’ll be amazed.
I was.

I never click on the “Home” page. Havent been there in years.

[TSchmereL]

Hey! I think you are right. I just put sticky notes on my screen to cover up everything except the squares. They do look like the same shade. Damn!

[MaryFromMichigan]

Amazing, huh?

[LibertyRocks]

Very cool! :)

[Snurple]

I'll be darned.

[MaryFromMichigan]

Blew my mind when I first saw it. :)

There must be problems with the servers. This has been occurring too frequently in recent weeks. Not a good way to start the day and see and “Internal Error” when I start my computer and go to Freerepublic.

This does not suprise me, this is becoming a common happening.

[Snurple]

I guess its because the top square is in the light while the other is in the shadow.

You named the jpg “stupid?” LOL.

This does not suprise me, this is becoming a common happening.

Common happening for most popular sites? Is the internet almost filled up?

Just goes to show you can’t believe your lying eyes...

[Snurple]

Yeah, I didn’t believe the colors were the same when I copied it, lol

[MaryFromMichigan]

Never doubt me.

[Biggirl]

Well it has been happening to FR almost every week. I do not know if it is server related, hacking, upgrading or what, but at FR it has been happening more often then not.

Not sure what’s causing it, but this and a nonpolitical forum I’m on daily both were giving me the error message this morning. Now, it’s just the other site.
