This video was shot near my hometown, upon a seemingly ordinary slope which is actually a bit of a regional curiosity. If you’re going down this slope and you turn off the car’s engine, the car will not keep going down: it will actually go in the opposite direction, apparently climbing upwards the slope! Most people claim this is an optical illusion, but I’m not really convinced with such explanation. I tried to document the effect best way I could, hopeful that somebody out there would be able to provide a reasonable explanation. Look forward to read your theories! If you’re ever in the neighborhood, make sure to check it out for yourself.

Car Climbing A Slope With Engines Off? – The funniest movie is here. Find it
Thanks to the power of web 2.0, I was able to find a convincing explanation for this intriguing effect. It’s actually a relatively normal phenomenon (you’ll find a list with over 100 documented places where this effect is apparent in the following link), one that is usually referred to as “gravity hill“; and all things considered, it really is an optical illusion. Since the horizon is blocked by the hill, one loses the sense of perspective – the trees in this spot are probably tilted, which adds up to the illusion; not only that, the top road is concave, while the bottom one is convex. Needless to say, both roads are actually leaning down, even though the top road appears to lean upwards.

I believe I can speak for all of us once I say this, our health stands out as the most critical thing. If we have our health, I believe that we can get any woman/man we want and any work we want. But in the modern day climate of things with the raising costs of supplements and such, I think the average spend on health merchandise is close to $1000-2000 a year for me, it’s possibly higher for others. I found an awesome way to fund this expenditure which has also helped me fund my holidays. Don’t worry, this is not heading to become any nonsense which bores you to death, and it does genuinely work, some individuals I know who use this genuinely make a living off it
