It really does hurt... my eyes are going to be taking a break from the computer after this one... WOW I never knew it was actually physically possible to give someone a headache and sore eyes with just a few .gifs...

If you don't want to look over the dozen of em, here are the two best

The dots are only where you are looking - did you notice that

This is physically painful moire distortion, caused by your eyes and your willingness to click on my links

Good thing I have Broadband now, some of those gif would have taken ages on 56k!

That one is worst, it flickers and that spot thing makes you think you are seeing things ! Which you are.

ToshiroOC · Jan 9, 2003, 07:33 AM

Methinks 420 is going to have fun with this trying to trip out his friends

UberLord · Jan 9, 2003, 10:26 AM

Those are just downright nasty!

ToshiroOC · Jan 9, 2003, 10:43 AM

They are actually pretty cool - its 2:45 in the morning right now, and those are some of the few things (that aren't caffine) that can help keep me awake

The_Neon_Cowboy · Jan 9, 2003, 10:57 AM

cool but -={420}=-'s now dam thats annoying

fornicatarachnid · Jan 9, 2003, 12:08 PM

I found some good ones !

ToshiroOC · Jan 9, 2003, 12:11 PM

Well fornicatachnid, that last one was the most impressive, and the first one looks like one of the earlier posted ones - very cool. I think that its a wonderful example of how its so easy to fool humans and their eyes

Glad you liked them

The elephant is my favourite though, I

can stare at that for ages and still never work it out !

ToshiroOC · Jan 9, 2003, 12:35 PM

Well, if you seriously can't figure it out, I'll spoil it for you

Though I really think its more mind-jolting than anything else... in other news, I recently thought of making escalators out of mobius strips. That way you could get even wear on the surface, couldn't you? Has someone done this before?

Good idea, they have been used to make Conveyor belts before

so your idea would proably work

ToshiroOC · Jan 9, 2003, 01:06 PM

Oh, very cool... but yet again, someone thought of it before me, and didn't ask permission to use my idea

oh well, one of these days I'll think of something insanely cool that no-one else has already thought of/patented

I think the popularity of the Democratic Party can attest to that!

Doesn't bother me one bit. I must be weird or something.

I could say something terribly biting about religion and the blind following of the masses, but I think I'm going to save it for our next big debate on the topic Java
