I do not know about anyone else, but I, for one, enjoy optical illusions. Why? I do not really know. Maybe because they perplex my mind. Maybe because I like feeling smart after I figure them out. Maybe because I am just weird. Wh...
Back in the 1950s, Stockholm Metro (the train company in Stockholm, Sweden) started allowing arts to paint the underground train stations. Flash forward to 2013 and many of Stockholm Metro’s stations are filled with beautifu...
Let’s say iPhone was a person. A real, actual person. Then let’s say iPhone got drunk and went partying with Android and Galaxy S III, assuming both Android and Galaxy S III both are real people, too. What would happen...
