Stupid Puzzle! It’s one of those find how these two pictures are not alike things.

There are supposed to be three differences… I’ve only found two. Can you find the last match?

Warning, this is one of those pictures that you study and then a shrieking monster pops out.

Thanks Lee 😃 I was just debating posting just such a message, since I so heartily enjoy stupid-ass crap like that, and the associated pop-up ads.

I might be wrong, I don’t think those things are allowed here.

Way to go, **lee**. You screwed up my gag. I was gonna say “Yup, I found 'em and it only took a second or two.”

I did not notice any of the pop up ads as I use Mozilla. I was thinking about the posters like me who sometimes sit with our children on our laps and look at puzzles on the web. Or the posters who browse at work. This one is especially dreadful in that it is not so startling as annoying. The one that was what is wrong with this picture and had the ghost pop out from behind something the image was at least well crafted. This just shreiked like a lame halloween dummy. Poorly executed and predictable.

You can never fool anybody on the first of April anymore! Everybody is expecting it.  
Thought I’d try to get one in when people were least expecting it. April Fool’s day come early.

I am under the impression, though I do not have a link handy to Official Mod/Admin Language so stating, that posting something with that whole sudden shrieking monster thing is frowned-upon here.

Well, it’s still better than the, “ANAL SEX DOT COM!!!” scream fest that some of those gags put out. Actually, this site has a lot of those type of “sabotages” if you want to view them for your own enjoyment and not send them via email to cow-orkers or any one you know at all.
