It may be hard to believe but the iconic building covered in lighted billboards known as One Times Square is uninhabited. It seems strange that such valuable real estate is just sitting empty, but it turns out that the company that owned the building went bankrupt in 1992.
It was sold to an advertising agency and they decided to just use it for the billboards.
The Hidden 8 of Diamonds
Here, we see a great example of use in negative space. It's one of those things that might take a while to realize but once you see, you can't unsee. If you stare at this one long enough, the numeral eight begins to reveal itself in a new way.
It must have been someone very bored with a card game who figured this one out. Look at the eight diamond shapes. Then focus on the negative white space between them. Suddenly, a large figure eight in the center of the card appears. It’s a clever bit of detail, isn’t it?
Arrow on Gas Gauge
Next to the gas gauge of most cars that have been manufactured since 2010, there's an arrow that either points to the left or to the right. This arrow indicates to the driver which side of the car the gas tank is on. If it's pointing to the left, that means that the gas tank is on the left-hand side of the vehicle and vice versa.
Most people don't need a reminder because they get used to filling their car up and instinctively know which side of the car to pull up to the gas pump. But if you ever have to drive a new car, such as a rental car, this is a good trick.
A Sheepish Student
Is it bring your barnyard animal to class day? Otherwise, it would be very hard to explain the new addition to this lecture hall. Maybe the sheep is there for emotional support, or was just snuck in under this guy’s jacket.
Either way, we hope he brought his little friend enough snacks, so it doesn’t start munching on other students’ class notes.
Never See Him Coming
This dedicated hunter is really becoming one with his surroundings in this ghillie suit. It’s hard to see him even if you know he’s there. Unless they use their other senses, the animals don’t stand a chance.
Take a note from this guy, the next time you go out hiking, don’t assume you’re on your own, there may be someone in the brush right beside you.
