Two extremely shiny legs, right? may be, not. (Source: Msbreeezyyy/Twitter)

Just when you thought you had it all sorted in your life, Instagram will make you realise that there will never be an end to our Internet misery. The ghost of the white-gold dress (or was it blue-black?) has come back to haunt us again, this time in the form of a photo of someone’s legs. Now, you’ll obviously wonder what about legs will have people dazzled and guessing. Kindly let us tell you why. An Instagram user on Monday put up a picture of these legs and of course, users went to town guessing what was up with the photo.

When you look at the picture you see two extremely shiny legs, right? Maybe, the person really oiled them up? Or maybe, the legs are covered in plastic and this is its glare?

While half the social media planet concluded that someone was just flaunting their really glossy legs, the others who weren’t satisfied with that explanation, wondered if it was white paint marks smeared instead.

Meanwhile, the photo was taken down by the user. Too late, we guess. The wildfire had already spread and the blue-black/white-gold dress’s ghost was back!

Optical illusions have continued to boggle our minds from time to time. Some time before, there was also a white (or blue?) bag that had people guessing.
