It’s, like, the 60’s all over again, man!

wicked!! :boggle:

I tried printing out a copy of the image on our printer at home. Still looks pretty wild, but the snakes aren’t moving. This looks like something that needs a photo quality printer.

Really great! Thanks for posting this Paul

Aw man I’m getting sick. It’s my wallpaper now, and I can’t look at it to change it!

Look at it out of the corner of your eye (that is singular, as in one eye) and you will be able to make the change without it making you heave. :laughing:

6

I put it as my wallpaper too. We’ll see how long it lasts without giving me a headache…

Thanks Paul!

Grooovy, man. Like, um thanks. :smiley:

Arrrgh !!

Thanks a bunch Paul, it made me so dizzy that I spilled coffee on my keyboard. Some things are just not meant for human eyes.
:smiley: :boggle:

If you look directly at one of the circles it stops moving.

Not an illusion, but fun to watch:

well if I take my glasses off, it stops moving. (yay for astigmatism, huh?) But yea, that’s a little

Ok. Far freakin’ out.

Thank you…I have to go change myself now. Sheesh. :roll:

:party:

Admittedly I’m not stoned as I might well have been in the sixties, but for the life of me I can’t see why you guys say it appears to be moving.

15

you’re kidding. I looked at it well before my evening pinot noir, and could only make parts of it stop moving by staring at them intently.
Chuck, you must just have the sort of no-nonsense brain/eye connection that sees things as they really are.

16

I don’t know about that.
He didn’t see the F# in the staff notation!

BTW Chuck,
It moved a little for me and then stopped.
Hardly a swirl.
I might need therapy.
:cry:

17

Never one to give up easily, I tried again. By staring INTENTLY at it - as the center started to blur it seemed like I maybe saw a bit of edge-creep at the corners. OTOH, maybe I just wanted to see something happen.

18

I might need to work on my selfishness.
Apparently I am lacking therein.
I have been told that narcissism is no substitute
for well functioning self interest.

:astonished: Wanna play it rough, huh?

Ok, I change my avatar… :open_mouth:

Can you dig it man? Like wow! Far out. Groovy. OUTTA SIGHT.

Hmm, hey those things are squirming around man! Hey Chuck, you don’t like, like have an unusual number of eyes like three or more, do you? If you do, maybe they somehow balance out the illusion that us two eyers get.
