			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found this picture on the net last night, whilst on a hunt for pornography. It has made my head hurt ever since.</p>

<p>They are not the same colour! They can&#8217;t be&#8230; They look nothing like one another. I figured it was one of those cons that makes you waste hours checking. Ok, so I admit, I checked and cut the squares out and popped them side by side in Microsoft Digital Image Editor.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s not fair! There must be something wrong with my picture editing software &#8211; That is the only explanation.</p>

<p>See, don&#8217;t trust computers, they are all in collusion and mess with your head and eyes. Well they won&#8217;t send ME mad. I am wise to you all, do you hear? DON&#8217;T MESS WITH MY BRAIN!</p>
