Good day everyone.

Two questions, just in case any of you can help me. The first is, does anybody know where I can buy Nakhla tobacco from in the UK? This is tobacco used in the hookah pipes (I think its spelt like that)
Ive not been able to get hold of any since my trip over to the middle east a few years ago.

And my next question is, where can I find that awsome optical illusion with the chess set with different shades of grey, two of which are identical but look completely different. Im sure Chicken posted it on here not to long ago, but I am unable to find it.

Best Regards
James

I found that checker illusion so hard to believe I downloaded it and eyedropped the colors and ill be damned I still swear they are different shades. That is cool

Hehe, that's good stuff. If you're into art and you like that sort of stuff, you should check out some of M.C. Escher's work, not really something for the living room, but it makes for great wall hangings in the office.

I know in London, there is an Indian/Pakistani market..... I am 98% sure that you will find your tobacco there..... I went there in 2000.
