Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #214

This is a perfect example of how the brain can be confused by an optical illusion.
Which is bigger, the tetra in front of the camera or the one on the table?
Answer They are both the same size. The one in front of the camera is closer to the lens. You didn't think the girl could hold up the tetra, by herself, if it was as big as it appears to be?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #214

Here we see several local retirees harnessing the power of the pyramid tetra to revert to an age where they could pass off as High School students, in an effort to use their vast experience to dominate the competition. Unfortunately, they were of an age that couldn't even set the time on their VCRs and, sadly, lost to some young whippersnappers.

[NPOE]: Holy Carp, how in the world did I get a first place out of that drivel? There goes my Bridesmaid award for the 2009 season [/NPOE]

Since our robot was to large to fit the game.... we enlarged the game to fit the robot!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #214

In an attepmt to prove that everything can be improved upon, this team decides to test a theory. Make it bigger but take off one side and see if it still has the same wonderful properties that a pyramid has. Unfortunately no one watched the Mythbusters disprove the pyramid claims, so no one in the picture is going to get any smarter just by sitting under their creation.

Team 303 decided to use this picture for their team's yearbook photo. From now until eternity they'll have to explain what a tetra is!

I hate to be the guy, but move-in weekend at USC has taken a fair chunk out of me. (And I don't even go there anymore!)

Tuesday, promise.
