Find the Man in the Coffee Beans

I found it in about 20 seconds…

THE TRICK IS TO FIND THE MAN IN THE COFFEE BEANS:

This is bizarre – after you find the guy – it’s so obvious. Once you find him – it’s embarrassing, and you think, why didn’t I see him immediately?


Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people.


If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally.


If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly.


If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger!!!

And, yes, the man is really there!!!

At Stevens? Really?

So as most of you know I am currently an undergraduate student at Stevens Institute of Technology where it is pretty safe to say has a lot of diverse people from all over the place. So imagine my shock when I hear the following conversation as I walk out of my Political Science class this morning. I was walking in front of two guys and never looked back to see who they were.

Guy 1: So for not being a morning person, that guy was totally bouncing off the wall.

Guy 2: Yea, everyone told me to take a “Wharton” class but what everyone failed to mention was that he was BLACK!

Let me give some background information for those who are not familiar with Wharton. He is a professor here at Stevens while currently getting his Ph.D. from Howard University down in Washington D.C. He is one of the most energetic personalities on campus and certainly a great professor to be taught from. I have had him now for several classes (Sixties: Decade of the Protest, Political Science II, Modern East Asian Studies). He always keeps his classes lively, he seems to fit in like a regular student and you probably would not even know he is a professor if you saw him the first time. So certainly, comments like that up there take you back about the bias and the perceptions people form only from a person’s skin color. It is disgusting.

It is my third year here and it had been pretty good but it just goes to show people like that are still all over the place and maybe somethings will never change.

Be Afraid America

I am sure most of you have seen this clip already but it sort of has been the talk ever since Huckabee said it. I heard a great comment but not sure where it is is from… If it was from anyone but Huckabee we would dismiss this idea as complete religious fanaticism but since he has the charisma and is able to talk, he is still considered a Republican front runner. Be afraid America.
