[quote]Red and cyan are complementary colors, and the image is filled with so much cyan that when you see the area that's devoid of cyan, your brain interprets it as red.[/quote] I'm not sure if i explained that in the best way, but it's a similar mechanism as the negative afterimage.

When I was a kid, we lost my older brother after he was hit by a car while riding his bike. We went to a bereavement support group (there was one for kids as well as one for adults that met at the same time) after that, and I think that group setting was really ideal for this.

[quote][quote]quote: Shouldn't the event be called "near hit", rather than "near miss"? [/quote] Agreed. Always hated the phrase near miss. That translates to an actual hit that was almost missed[/quote] Disagree. Think about the phrase "close win". It was a win, but it was close. "Near m...
