The "curve-ball"... too good to be true...
Okay... for those that love baseball, or have pitched a few games themselves -- you may surprised to learn that a curve-ball doesn't really curve.
According to recent research; things are not what they appear to be. The first link is the article about this. The second link takes you to a screen demonstrating what you see when looking at a curve-ball. Be sure to first watch the ball fall in a straight-line... then move your eyes to the blue spot on the right and watch what happens to your curve-ball. I found it interesting. http://www.rdmag.com/News/2010/10/Ph...od-to-be-true/ http://illusioncontest.neuralcorrela...the-curveball/
