Thaumatrope
In 1827 John Ayrton Paris created the thaumatrope (from Greek ‘wonder’ combined with ‘motion’), a round disc threaded on a string with one picture on one side and another on the reverse; when the disc spun, the images merged. This was the first device to tune into the ‘critical fusion frequency’ of human visual perception, the speed at which the brain no longer grasps individual images but superimposes one on the other.

Here's the praise to Calibri
Calibri has been behaving badly, tell us presentation specialists at Slidebean:
'Calibri is one of the ugliest fonts ever invented by mankind, I hold it up there with other design fails such the infamous Comic Sans MS'.
Ouch. After reading an introduction like this the only fonts I want to use now are by all means only Comic Sans and Calibri! I'm even ready to forget my beloved Arial and Times New Roman for a while. (:
