People love to be right. Some go to great lengths to prove their worth, screen-shotting articles, making pie charts, and even creating videos to demonstrate. These folks are the true heroes in life, particularly when they get duped by sarcasm. It's a strange but genuine phenomenon, and there's no place better to observe this high level of righteousness than social media. Meet Greg, a mild-mannered joker who shared this "optical illusion" image on Twitter, claiming the two inner circles shown were the exact same size. "Optical illusions are fascinating," he later added. "This one's called the Delboeuf illusion if you want to read more on it." The following is a series of tweets that followed. Some are pure sarcasm, others... not so much, but the entertainment value is priceless. I chose a few of my favorites to share, but with over 6.7 million views, this post is full of laughs. In the end, he fought the law and the law won, but it was well worth it. If you're on Twitter, make sure you're following Greg. His account is hysterical: a much needed break on days when people be testin' you. Want more laughs? Check out some of my t-shirts while you're here and be sure to subscribe so you never miss a post!
