Viewing the World in Negative

It's six AM and I feel like BLOGGING!!!  I discovered something new today-- you know when you stare at something for a really long time, and you see a little floaty image of it?  Those floaty images are actually in NEGATIVE!! At first it was just a guess (I stared at a picture hanging on my wall), but I confirmed it by looking at the picture through the negative filter on my phone's camera- and guess what:  I saw exactly the same thing as before in the floaty images!  This was something of a breakthrough for me.

Random Thought for the Day: Earlier, when I was trying to access this site, I was trying to type the address into the browser at the top, and it kept doing random things like Googling "Toothpick Chick" and going to other people's blogs and things like that- and one time it took me to a Facebook survey.  This is very strange as I don't have a Facebook.... the survey was very weird.  It offered to give me prizes as a thanks for completeing the survey when I hadn't taken it.  It congradulated me "the Facebook user" for just going to this survey.  The questions were:
1.   Are you male or female?
2.  How many social networking sites are you currently signed up to? (0 wasn't an option)
3.  How old are you? (it had age groups)
4.  How many friends do you have on your favorite social networking site? (0!!  I don't have a favorite social networking site!)
When I finished looking at the survey, it offered me a free iPad, a $1000 Walmart gift card, or a $1000 Best Buy gift card.  When I first reached this page, it had quantities of 6 or higher, but later it only had 1 for all three items. 
I decided the smart option would be to not believe they were giving things away of such enormous value, so I closed the window and went back to my blog.  The whole thing was very odd, especially because it knew where I live, and I wasn't on Facebook when it popped up!
Invention of the Day: Contest Scanner: Whenever you get a "Chance to Win!" flier in the mail, or see it on TV, or get it in an email or it pops up on the internet, you just take this handy scanner and it can read different signs to determine whether or not your contest is a hoax.
