25029. Wombat - 1/30/2009 7:11:21 PM On the other hand, don't Finns have the highest suicide rate in Europe--if not the world? 25030. iiibbb - 1/30/2009 9:02:24 PM Who defines the culture--
The 18-30 people out of 100,000 who do commit suicide,
or the 999,970 to 999,982 of 100,000 that don't?
Also, is a slightly higher suicide rate necessarily inconsistent in the context of a cultural identity where people take on difficult tasks relying only on themselves? 25031. iiibbb - 1/30/2009 9:03:00 PM No one said they don't get depressed. 25032. iiibbb - 1/30/2009 9:32:41 PM Now for more fun.
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.
LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science

knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe
RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking 25033. iiibbb - 1/30/2009 9:33:56 PM I can usually get her to switch at will by quickly changing my view from her head to her feet.
It's hit or miss which way I see her spinning at first glance. 25034. thoughtful - 1/30/2009 11:20:52 PM that's very cool
25035. wabbit - 1/31/2009 1:16:51 AM I cannot get her to spin counter-clockwise for my life. 25036. wabbit - 1/31/2009 1:18:12 AM Ah, got it! 25037. iiibbb - 1/31/2009 1:42:40 AM My new trick is to look at her with my peripheral vision until she switches on her own, and then recenter on her. I can't get her to switch if I look straight at her. 25038. Ms. No - 1/31/2009 7:52:21 AM I spent my 30th birthday just outside of D.C. at Diva's house with several Moties --- Bubbaette and Niner among them.
I don't know whether 40 is going to bother me or not. It sort of bothers me now, but it's not as if you want to NOT turn 40, you know? ;->
25039. Ms. No - 1/31/2009 7:53:39 AM whew! It took me forever to get the woman to turn counter-clockwise --- the periferal vision thing helped a lot. I don't know that I ever would've gotten it otherwise.
Hmmm....wabbit and I both had trouble with that. I'm wondering what the Wiz would see. 25040. judithathome - 1/31/2009 3:36:40 PM I saw her counter at the very first...swift glance and then, looking back, clockwise. I can get her to change easily, after about three spins.
I must be messed up! Or indecisive! 25041. iiibbb - 1/31/2009 3:57:11 PM Oh... that's a good trick J@h. I can get her to switch while looking directly at her now. 25042. Ms. No - 1/31/2009 4:45:45 PM Jude,
I think it makes you versatile and adaptive! 25043. alistairConnor - 1/31/2009 9:16:58 PM I think the problem, in my case, was that I couldn't take my eyes off her tits. Once I relaxed a bit, she came around. 25044. arkymalarky - 2/2/2009 2:21:08 AM On dialup she's not moving at all! 25045. thoughtful - 2/2/2009 3:53:49 PM I just look at her feet and ignore the rest of her....it's a matter of if you perceive her leg moving in front or in back of the other....once I get her feet to switch, the rest of her switches. 25046. iiibbb - 2/2/2009 4:35:07 PM look harder 25047. iiibbb - 2/2/2009 4:35:47 PM I'm telling Arky to look harder...
;) 25048. thoughtful - 2/2/2009 5:12:12 PM actually, i think left right has nothing to do with it...i think it all has to do with when you first look at her...if her leg is to the left then she appears to go counterclockwise...if her leg is to the right then she appears to go clockwise...if i get the timing of her spin down and then close my eyes and open them when i know her leg is on the other side, she reverses.
