An optical illusion happens because the different parts of the eye process images and colours at different speeds, this sometimes means that false images are sent to the brain.

Question: Does the victim of domestic violence win custody of a child?

06-07-2013 11:48:00 AM

The 10 Worst Charities

When you give money to charity, it's reasonable to expect the money will go to, well, the charity. But there's an entire industry of "charities" that are masterful at raising money that overwhelmingly goes to the paid companies that do the fundraising.
