    [​IMG] Amazingly, a disturbingly huge percentage of the world population do not realize that they are actually colour blind. Many do not realize their deficiency until they apply for jobs that require a vision deficiency test.

    Therefore, I recommend you to take this test to see whether your eyes have difficulty registering different colours. Those of you who think you won't have a problem, think again. I am sure you will find the results to be shocking. Post your results!

    Here is the test.

    EDIT: Oh yeah, I was rated as having normal vision. Thank goodness!

    Ouf. Goes to show how much 'research' I do before actually posting. :D

    Now I get to use the most misleading and underused smiley of all: the :o

    There are other similar stuff on this website: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/ . Just scroll down to the scary section.

    Gotta love these things!

    I'm so glad I always scan links for 'liquidgeneration' and the like :)

    I liked the baby seal better than this one though...

    [​IMG] These things should have warnings...(it looked SO official) You see, movies fail to scare me, but other things...

    Well surprisingly, the test started getting hard at the end, but I think I have normal vision. Whew, maybe not, after that part.

    Don't need to take the test. I already know that I am colour-blind.

    I couldn't see any number in the last picture they showed me before displaying the morbid bloodshed picture. And '73' does look like 13 if you're a continental European :( . Anyway my glasses are over -3 each, so this really doesn't matter.

    That's...probably a good thing, though, that he spoiled the "fun." I think I literally jumped an inch from my seat.

    Moving on, since it has been officially "spoiled", do you think this was an inhumane joke for Rhythm to play on us?? Would you guys do this to friends you know personally by emailing them the link, knowing that they'd probably kill you after? Oh wait, you've probably already done that. :evil:

    I think it is an inhuman joke. I actually took this test serious (altough I already knew I was colour blind).

    Sorry for spoiling fun. Really. :( I thought that was to be a serious one. Maybe I should sleep more.

    [​IMG] How can you? After seeing that?

    BTW, I noticed this before I took the test - guess I should have listened. The link includes the words "vision sabatoge", which should have been a clue.

    [​IMG] C'mon guys, you're not mad at me aren't you? It's all in the name of good fun. I'm innocent! :good: . I simply can't get enough of these things, they're absolutely great! And no, this is not an inhuman joke, it's just something to wake you up. :p

    Actually, I'm surprised at the number of people replying to this topic since the link to the test already occured in another one. How could you guys have missed it?

    Hmm, somehow I get the feeling that you guys won't open a link posted by me ever again...

    Heh heh heh. I discovered long ago the secret to dealing with this. Paranoia. When I surf the net, I go around with Mute on all the time. When I find an interesting site, I check it out for a few days muted and then un-mute. That guy with the knives in his head was unnerving, but I couldn't hear a thing. You should try it. Before I started muting I was almost afraid to go anywhere except five or six sites I knew were legit. Now I go everywhere.

    [​IMG] What? Excuse me in saying this and don't take offence, but honestly, how is it scary? I didn't see it in that light at all, sound up loud, wasn't expecting a thing, BOO, guy with things in is head, that killed five minutes... what next.

    I actually thought I got scared easily, as do many people, but this sort of thing I find just mildly amusing.

    It's not that it's scary. If I saw that in a movie, I wouldn't be at all afraid. The main thing is that it pops up suddenly out of nowhere (and the sound!). And if you know anything about psychology, that's another type of scary.

    I'm not mad at the Rhythm, I mean, any one of us could have done that. Well, it just had to be you. It WAS different, for a change in pace, at least. Sorry for posting so late about this topic by the way, I was just too busy to come here lately.
