Very cool indeed. I enjoyed all of those. I don't really have anything to add to this thread though.

Some of those optical illusions were filter list rejected at my school computer. There's nothing sick and wrong in them is there? :huh:

I've looked at all of them. There is nothing sick or wrong with them, but two have the phrase "young girl" in the title, which may get it filtered by your school.

Optical illusions are great. But can get annoying as you get to see your limitations when looking at things! :P

Thats a cool illusion, Kashi. It really looked like the head was moving, but it wasnt... Interesting though, now that Ive seen the true form of it, the illusion no longer works for me. Now I see it as it truly is, inverted.
