spinning lady illusion

http://www.threadbombing.com/details.php?image_id=2674&mode=search

I'd never seen this before.  I don't know what the clue is but somtimes I see it going one way, sometimes the other.    Look away for a while close eyes, look back.  Every so often it will change "direction" of spin.

"No One As Irish As Barack Obama" via One Eyed Parrot Dance Club

A pleasant interlude in which one also gets to see that Barack Obama actually can dance!

"Call No Man Happy Until He Is Dead" - Herodotus

http://www.amazon.com/review/R2AMW6LDQPKST9/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

the first commenter on herodotus the histories at Amazon.com recommends the translation by someone named Green (1987).  Look for it in your local library system?  Or used.  Of other translations the one by Penguin Books was listed almost as good.

I first read this as a college freshman,  I liked it then & I still like it.

It's amazing!  Right when you think the ad must be over,  it continues!  And gets even "better".

Ah what a lovely day.
