Taking the rabbit-duck illusion to its logical conclusion.
An international team with English, French, Spanish, and German scientists are working on a cloaking device that renders the wearer invisible. They try it on a grad student who asks "Can you see me?!" The scientists reply "Yes" "Oui" "Si" "Ja". I'll show myself out.
