    If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink.

    <div align="center">[attachmentid=8176]</div>

    However if you stare at 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, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single 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.

    I have always been amazed with the human brain. Enough to keep me interested but not enough to get a degree.

    My wife is an Optometrist. Every once and a while she'll tell me something that I didn't know and I'm always intrigued.

    Here's another cool one. Look at the faces while moving your head away from and towards the monitor - the two faces swap places!

    It's a neat effect... It's sort of like staring at a picture (the most common i've seen is the American flag) for a bit, then looking at a white piece of paper - you see the negative of the picture!

    Thanks for posting Wildkow. I was gonna say "way cool", but as burritos just did, I'll can only offer you "super-neat" or "trippy" by way of compliment. Nice post.

    Far out. Does the dot turn other colors depending on your political affiliation?

    You're right! This could be an allegory: the dots could represent Bush's supporters, and the cross in the middle could represent The Facts.
