    Default Check this out (56k minor stuff)

    I got this in an e-mail, try it

    "If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink.

    If you stare at the the black + in the center, the moving dot turns to green.

    Now, concentrate on the black + in the center of the picture. After a short period of time, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating.



    It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones really don't disappear. This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see. "

    freaky man
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    My dad also sends me cool stuff like this. I think he sent me that particular cool thing a few months ago. It's very clever.

    That's prett cool, although I never only saw pink, I also saw flashes of green. Must be part of the messed up way in which MY brain works. Anyway thanks for posting that.

    I got the exact same thing. It seems the pink circles are not "thick" or "clear-cut" enough to make its presence in my brain whole, unlike the black "+" in the middle, and the continuously moving green hidden beneath the animation.

    I think you are getting it, but that you just can not believe it's true, like I did initially.

    Square A really is the same colour as square B.

    Try copying the picture into paint or photoshop, and then cut and drag a fragment of A over B. I did, and was shocked.
