This is a wonderful optical illusion. This little dragon is made out of paper - you simply cut it out and stick it together, and stand it on a table or window ledge. But when you move around, the dragon's head seems to follow you around the room. Have a look at the video, to see what we mean. The effect is really uncanny.

    "In a test of 16 control patients and 13 schizophrenia suffers, the control group mis-categorized the hollow masks as convex 99% of the time, while those with schizophrenia had no trouble telling the difference, only getting it wrong 6% of the time."

    it means you're schizophrenic (or if it's only temporarily, then it's because you're high). healthy people get constantly fooled by this and will find it impossible to see as hollow. it's a test that psychologists use to diagnose schizophrenia. you probably mainly got the negative symptoms, so you never noticed. your life expectancy is about 20 years shorter and therapy works really badly for predominantly negative symptoms. life sucks, i know
