An 87-year-old Swedish woman recently discovered she had been declared dead by the Swedish tax agency after a doctor accidentally wrote her birth details into a death certificate! The Temple of Lord Venkateswara in Andhra Pradesh, India, has nearly 100,000 visitors a day and its kitchens cook 55 tons of rice a day to feed them for free! With generous donations, the Temple still earns $340 million a year. The abnormal brains of schizophrenics render them unable to see certain optical illusions!

I can’t see some optical illusions too. I don’t hear voices though. Just music.

Don’t remember the source, but someone was once declared dead by accident, and the tax department was the ONLY one that acknowledged the rebirth – couldn’t get pension back, drive, rent, use checking or credit – nothing!

Schizophrenics instead can be prone to auditory illusions, hearing the voices of ‘other people’ inside their own heads.
