    That's the point, isn't it? We have 3 identical 2D cars; the exact same size, as your yellow lines show. Now depending on whether we think the car is close or far away, the car appears to be small or big. Some UFO that appears to be big and far...

    But as @Mendel says, it shows how unreliable estimates of size are when we are dealing with objects at unknown distances. It also (to me at least) clearly shows that the cause of the “Moon illusion” is simply the Ponzo illusion and not any of the...

    That sounds exactly like what believers always say when someone replicates a fake UFO video: "It's not exactly the same. The details differ." Sure they do. Recreating something exactly is obviously way more difficult than creating the hoax in the...

    On Sunday I went to see the beloved Carolina Panthers get their lunch money stolen, sand kicked in their faces and their collective girlfriends lured away by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is not a rare thing, sadly, though it was extremely...

    Oh, he's done that on camera as well, usually at female reporters, who often are the ones he dislikes the most. Here's one from last week (video in article). Unhinged Trump Lunges at Female Reporter Over Embarrassing Question Updated Fri...

    I googled "human proportions for artists", and this is only one of many diagrams, all of them quite similar in proportions. But this, of course, is an "average proportion" sketch, and your mileage may vary. FYI, I'm about 5'1", and my hands come...

    I don't know if you've read through the whole thread, it's only 15 pages ;), but a member named jamesrav was the person most arguing the PGF could NOT be a hoax, for a variety of reasons, but the walk was a primary one. He relied primarily on...

    Arm length was one of the things I looked at when comparing the frames of Patty and Norma in a similar position (comment #541). Here's a side by side comparison with arm lengths measured in pixels. It's not exact since the positions are not...

    I've only watched a few of his "books", but but he starts with the book containing "My Pet Goat", and continues with "that's interesting - type" innuendo of comments that are neither interesting nor material to the subject. No thanks.
