An artist's depiction of a phosphene
When I was a young child, I used to love to close my eyes and rub them because it made a bunch of cool patterns appear. It turns out, the patterns of light you see when you rub your closed eyes hard are called phosphenes. Cool!
From Wikipedia:
The most common phosphenes are pressure phosphenes, caused by rubbing the closed eyes. They have been known since antiquity, and described by the Greeks. The pressure mechanically stimulates the cells of the retina. Experiences include a darkening of the visual field that moves against the rubbing, a diffused colored patch that also moves against the rubbing, a scintillating and ever-changing and deforming light grid with occasional dark spots (like a crumpling fly-spotted flyscreen), and a sparse field of intense blue points of light. Pressure phosphenes can persist briefly after the rubbing stops and the eyes are opened, allowing the phosphenes to be seen on the visual scene.

Behold the power of Photoshop…
Since it is Sunday, let’s have a genetically photoshopped egg with a handy integrated eggholder. Not sure if these should be mass produced (if possible): Too painful for the chicken.

The future is going to be so awesome. Just imagine…
Imaginary advertisement for genetically engineered hybrid hyperfruits featuring an ‘limwi’, ‘kiwange’ and a ’strawblackberry’. Imagine a taste of things to come. Makes you want to kiss the future. Created for the Freaking News photoshop contest.
