A Fun Coincidence on iGoogle

What I share with you today isn’t strictly an optical illusion, but still an interesting coincidence that happened to one of our friends – Benjamin Bowmer. I thought it was worth sharing. As you all know by now, some of our great assets include “Optical Illusion of The Day” widgets. People download these free little applications, put them on their computer desktops, Facebook or MySpace profiles, iPhone etc… and then each day get new optical illusions from us. If you missed it, be sure to download one for yourself. Anyway, as Ben stated in his email (quotes included beneath the screenshot) he had iGoogle gadget for years now, but one day when he opened his Google Homepage he was in for a surprise. If you remember, back in September we posted Summer Stockings illusion, and this is the one Ben saw, except there was a little more to it then others of us had access to…

Benjamin got a nice surprise when he opened his iGoogle homepage.

Good day mate, I’ve had your iGoogle gadget on my home page for a couple of years now, but never have I gotten such a nice surprise when I opened the internet. Nothing heaps fancy, but still a nice coincidence I think, and I figured you’d appreciate it. Keep up the good work. – Ben

  1. Its not even part of the same pic.
    Boards on pier go wrong direction.
    Right hand on chair different.
    Why is there water in one pic and not the other?
    It is a nice surprise but it is not the same pic in my opinion.

  2. Now that’s a really good one. It’s like when your reading or looking at billboards and someone says the word you’re looking at. I was helping a pigeon in a parking lot and the word for the day on the radio was, yes, pigeon. Good eye for congruity.

  3. good one! The big white area in between the pics even manages to look like something that is blocking people from seeing her “goodies”.

  4. Hey Firsttard.
