I am not sure exactly how it works, but this is amazingly accurate. Read the full description before looking at the picture. The picture below has two identical dolphins in it.

It’s that time of year again. Cooler weather, check. Fall leaves changing colors, check. Monopoly at McDonald’s, check! I’ve looked forward to this game for the last few years – not that I’m specifically a big fan of McDonald’s… I did grow up with Happy Meals and have admitted to having a short-term crush on […]
