Why is the creepy guy trying to see up Gable’s dress and not Harlowe’s?

My first thought: Did the Addams renovate/redecorate?

I like these cool pictures, but once again I must cry AI. There are a lot things that look overly dramatic, but the piece that makes me fairly certain is the structure on the 3rd (?) floor, left side. It seems to defy gravity. I could accept it as a cast iron roof structure over the balcony except there appears to be a rather substantial structure on top it that a) looks too heavy, and b) doesn’t seem to connect to the rest of the house (how is it accessed).

I’m sure it’s AI… that’s why I didn’t comment.

The only 8 I see is in the sentence on top!

There must be a trick to it, unless there’s some of the image missing….

I looked normally and then tried again, using a super secret trick….

.,.. for finding it quickly:

Slide an envelope or thick piece of paper up or down the page, so you only see the bottoms of the 9s in each row.

Or you can scroll the image so the edge of the screen cuts off the top of each row as you scroll it past.

A loop in one place instead of a tail should be quite apparent.

(You’re welcome. Some other time it will work.)

But nada.

I think the sentence’s 8 is the right answer.

I even looked for a sideways 8 (two nine tops touching) but found nothing.

The puzzle Nighthawks posted here was complete.

The webpage in Alexi’s link for some reason shows the puzzle itself with the bottom cut off, but we don’t need it anyway.

Scroll down, though, and they do give the complete solution.

Unless you download them, and put them side by side, I’m not sure you can get there quickly enough to tell.

The effect only lasts a couple of seconds.

Not as bad as you might think. I suspect the two motions negate each other to some extent.

OK. I scrolled down really fast from the second set of spinning circles and got the illusion the big cat was breathing.

I didn’t really even want to look at it, but I had to look it up when I noticed her neck.

From the Getty Images description of this photo:

“A patient with exophthalmic goiter caused by hyperthyroidism. Changes in the eyes take two forms: retraction of the eyelids and proptosis, or bulging.

Edema (swelling) of tissues in the orbit of the eye causes it to be pushed outward. Hyperthyroidism is most commonly caused by the oversecretion of thyroid hormones in patients with Graves’ disease, a toxic goiter, or a toxic adenoma (benign tumor) of the thyroid.

The illustration appeared in Byrom Bramwell’s Atlas of Clinical Medicine. (Photo by © CORBIS/Corbis via Getty Images)”

Gee thanks, Nighthawks!

BTW This picture was published ca 1896.

Graves disease and other forms of hyperthyroidism are still not curable, but they can be much better managed today. With treatment, this can be avoided!

Does anyone remember the comic Bluebonnets? That photo reminds me of the aunt. I wish i could remember her name.

A bit closer to the truth of the matter I think than the much touted refusal by Choltitz to “burn Paris.”

Wow, a John Whine movie…

Of all the ones he made, this might be his only appearance on one of Stel’s posters.

He stood tall in his boots, for a basset hound.

A big dog, with a powerful gaze… other dogs got out of his way.

No wonder they called him “Duke” in his offscreen life.

And look at all those billions (OK, dozens) of itty bitty bassets…

and all those names in the credits!
