I have never seen a peacock take off and fly.

I have never seen a peacock take off and fly. I did when I lived in India - from a train between Goa and Bangalore.

A peacock's tail in flight is downright Seussian.

I didn't see an illusion at all. Four whiskey miniatures. Four hands attached, each with an arm. Each arm had a different sleeve. (I didn't read the article. Just looked at the photo.)

No illusion, just run-of-the-mill camouflage at work. (I also didn't read the article.)

This video is probably one of the most satisfying I've watched on YouTube. Basically it's about a search to identify some strange markings on the Sahara desert floor in Algiers.

The TSA “insta” brings you some of the weirder things travelers try to get through airport security, but don’t worry it’s PG rated with some good humor thrown in by agents (and they say an English degree won’t get you places). Besides a lotta knives .. Things like is it “pawsable” to bring a giant stuffed teddy through the line knowing it won’t fit in carry-on. Mystery solved within this link .. TSA pictures of some weird stuff travelers try to get thru security (HuffPo)

I once spent 45 minutes while 9 (count 'em, Nine!) TSA agents stared at an x-ray of my friend's bag. It turns out he had an electric toothbrush in there! You know, the kind you can buy at Walgreens for $7.
First they stared at it. Then they called it the supervisor. then he called in the explosives team. They couldn't let it out of the x-ray machine because it turns out that the tunnel of the machine is also an anti-explosive bin...and they can't let anything out of it until they are sure it won't explode.
45 minutes of sheer fun, I tell you.
