"Stare Down Sally: Stare Down Sally is a simple game. In a moment, you'll meet Sally. She'll be staring at you with a powerful green-eyed gaze. She may stare for an instant...she may stare for several seconds...or she may stare for what seems like an eternity. But eventually, Sally will blink. DO YOU HAVE THE POWER TO STARE BACK......and NOT BLINK?"  10:50:30 PM     Add a comment

I was looking out the window just now at the cascading snowmen I created (photos below) and something struck me, in a Bill Nye The Science Guy kind of way.  If I were to lay on the ground in front of the smallest snowman and take a picture of all of the snowmen would they look the same height?  I was losing the day's light and laying on the snow was pretty chilly, but I managed to snap one good shot:it's snow illusion
