Back in Columbus time, people were aware that the world was round (you send enough ships from england to africa and someone was going to figure it out). When columbus discovered the aboriginals, he referred to them as 'una pobla in dios' (sp?) spanish for 'a people in god."

I heard this from george carlin, it might just be BS revisionist history, but sounds pretty plausible.

Actually, Columbus thought he discovered a western route to India, when he discovered the New World. He literally thought he was in India, therefore, he named the people they met "Indians".

A 7 is not an upside down L, a 7 is an L rotated 180 degrees.

if you are one of those who cross your 7, rotate that 180 degrees and you have the Chinese character for 7.

Okay, since CP seems to have a bunch of threads dealing with observation skills vs. distractions, here is a video designed to test observation skills.

All you need to do is count how many times the white shirted players pass the basketball. To make it more difficult, there is a second team in black shirts also playing basketball, but just count the passes by those in white shirts.

Once you have counted them, post your answer below, and then highlight the hidden white text below to see if you got the right answer.

Studies have demonstrated that only about 20% of the population can get it right.

The video.

Highlight below for the results (but only after you have posted your score):

I don't even know what the right answer is, but I counted 13.

Did you see the gorilla however (watch it again if you don't beleive me)? Edit your post below with a yes or no to see how many noticed it (try not to spoil it for other people either way).

[RockOnRoberts]

I counted 14 times, and I noticed something but thought it was an arabic woman in a full body cover

[Sample00]

I counted 13 and saw the gorilla.

my answer is above in white.

[Cheerio]

14 no gorilla

[Papi34]

14 and saw it

[Joborule]

I counted 15 and never saw it.

[Redliner]

16, and didn't see it.

[Jedi Ninja]

If you saw the gorilla, it means you have ADD.

The saddest part is, I've been shown that video about 20 times, and not once have i seen it on the first try.

This was on of the commercials they showed at every movie I went to in England. But it was better production and it was a moon walking brown bear.

[Bibtin Tex]

I got 14 and saw the bear, although I was expecting to see something walk across that blends in.

It's harder to notice in the original video...
