How to Make Glass Disappear - Neatorama

Ross Exton of the Live Science Team shows us a magic trick, with a science lesson on how it really works.

But some materials, like completely transparent glycerol, can change that effect in a totally weird way. -via Laughing Squid

It put me either in Newark or eastern Florida...neither of which accurately represents, in any sense, where I actually live. XD (In fact, I live in the deep Southwest.)
That said, I moved around almost constantly as a kid, and went to school in Missouri, so I've been exposed to so many dialects that I can use 'sunshower' and 'sneakers' on one hand, and then turn around and use 'y'all'.

It put me in Rochester NY. Not bad considering I'm from Syracuse. I think that folks who have moved a lot might get skewed results.

I'm sittin' in Oklahoma City right now, just visitin' fer Chrissmiss, and sher enough, that dang ol' computer predicted that I'm around the Oklahoma City/Tulsa area. Guess that means I've binn here too long.

I'm gob-smacked [closet Anglophile] the map located me between Fresno and Bakersfield [CA]. I always thought Californians didn't have accent/dialect.
