optical illusions are fun -- I like messing with the ol' noggin'...


stare at the "+" in the middle soon you'll see a green "dot" magically appear 8)

That is really cool...  Interesting that it's the switch from pink back to grey that makes the green appear.
Prayin' for a 20!

What's really cool is that it only takes a second or two (many similar illusions you have to really stare a long time) and BONUS, if you look to the side AFTER seeing Mr. Green Dot, you'll see that all the pink dot have been burnt "green" into your retinas :) (i.e. you'll see an echo image of the outer circle of dots, but green instead of pink).

Messing with sensory perception: free, harmless fun :D
