That spinning figure above.

Is there anyone else who can make that thing spin in two directions? I find I can, just by thinking about it. Being ambidextrous, I can draw and write simultaneously with both hands, but I never realised I could do this latest trick.

Now there`s a talent Tony! Unfortunetly the thing only goes one way for me.

What spinning figure are you referring to?

If you google "the spinning dancer" all will be revealed. In my case I can get the girl spinning left or right full 360 degrees, and, which I find fascinating, I can get her to oscillate left to right in 180 degree turns, but I'm a clever bugger.

Medsec, it was a banner advert, on this site, showing a Ballerina in silhouette spinning on the spot. It asked if you are left or right brained (did she spin left or right). She was performing a turn rising from her flat foot, with a bent knee, as her free leg is extended to her front, then whipped around to spin her on the spot. I was astonished to find that I could make her spin either way, just by thinking about it. It was, like all of these types of adverts, very irritating, I did not respond to its nonsense and am glad its gone.

The mind plays tricks all the time. A few months back we were walking along the Hull to Hornsea track at night, and saw a face in the trees. I knew that it could be nothing more than the trees and out position, but even through the view finder it looked like a face. I took several snaps, but as we got closer the trees returned back to looking like trees and the images showed nothing more than trees, but for a few minutes I had convinced myself it was a face in the trees looking back at us.
