Wha happened to the optical iilusion post?

I can't seem to find it anywhere?

Yeah I couldn't either. Real shame as it was good. I can post again but it may just get deleted. Must have been deemed too off topic I guess even though it was a computer-based animation.

I can still see it... Oops nope it's gone again! Must have been an optical illusion.

haha, had me going for a nano sec.

That was the coolest illusion

Look it's now in Blizmax, so this cannot be deleted...?

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, you will only see one color, pink.
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 of time,
all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see a green dot rotating if you're lucky!
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.

Hey Luke! Really nice work on that conversion, it's better than the original wicked!

now I can safely post the link again:

Heh, it was deleted because I said 'this gets my vote for 'best thread about to get deleted 2006'!'. No, wait, it got deleted because it completely off topic. Because of sucky, sucky people. Love you though Luke. =]
