Title: Illusions
Post by: Colin on April 30, 2008, 04:14:34 PM

You might have seen these before, but I'll post them anyway.

If you take a look at the following picture, let me tell you .... it is not animated. Your eyes are making it move. To test this, stare at one spot for a couple seconds and everything will stop moving. Or look at the black centre of each circle and it will stop moving. But move your eyes to the next black centre and the previous will move after you take your eyes away from it.Weird ?

I hate these things. I always set out determined not to be impressed and end up getting the family round to look at them.

Another thing about this stuff is WHO works it out? I'm sure there's someone on this site (well, Mince probably) who can explain why the Jesus illusion works. It's probably very simple. In fact, I don't want to know.

The Jesus one is simply a negative of the initially. You see the reverse when you look at a blank page/space.

Yeah, but, Nige, it doesn't LOOK like a negative of Jesus and...oh, I give up. I don't care. It's stupid.
