Every day a little old man went down to the newsstand in Red Square, looked at the front pages of the newspapers, shook his head, and walked away.

Finally, one day, the vendor said, "What are you looking for, comrade?"

The old man said, "An obituary."

The vendor said, "But comrade, the obituaries are on the back page."

The old man sighed and said, "Not the one I'm looking for, friend."

This illusion was new to me. Does whichever dot you look at turn more purple?

Pretty neat how clearly this lets you see the reduced sensitivity to blue light in the very centre of your vision.
