What do optical illusions, jokes, or television shows have to do with teak furniture? Not much, but we don’t need to talk about outdoor furniture every day. Every Friday I will attempt to show you something interesting that most likely has nothing to do with teak, but should be a nice way to start your weekend.

Now here’s an interesting optical illusion. For it to work, stare at the center crosshairs and move your head towards and away from the computer screen. You’ll see that the images appear to rotate. Sometimes when you just look to the side or relax your eyes a bit, you’ll notice the circles moving as well.

Until next week, where we’ll be discussing the unique properties of teak that make it the perfect material for outdoor furniture.

What do riddles, factoids, or movie reviews have to do with teak furniture? Nothing, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun every once in awhile. On Fridays I’ll post something interesting that probably has very little to do with teak or outdoor furniture, but it should at least make you smile or think.

So for my first entertainment post I thought I’d indulge in one of my favorite pastimes . . . riddles. Ever since I was a child I was enamored with riddles. I was obsessed with solving mysteries, and I always enjoyed the twist in thinking involved. So, teak lovers, riddle me this:

A boy was born in Boston, Massachusetts to parents who were each born in Boston, Massachusetts. Neither the boy nor his parents have ever left the state, but the boy is not a U.S. citizen. How is this possible?

Now obviously you are looking at this while on the Internet, but try not to use Google to help you. That would ruin all of the fun. I’ll post the answer in next week’s entry. Enjoy!
