So the monster dongs in porn were a lie after all. Now I feel better about myself.

Woah it reminds me of Alice and the Wonderland!

[Noel Castellanos]

do you know anything about perception and how objects get smaller the further they are, this room is design for you not to see the depth, therefore you see people changing sizes. Optical illusions are designed to trick the brain. Stop being stupid skeptical, they just explained how it works in a very logical way

[kinglonblue]

I want a room like this in my house!

So having someone explain the concept and then display this concept to you through the medium of video is not enough. Why did you even comment on this?
