Crazy Optical Illusion
OK, I predict that this thread will drop like a rock because none of you will actually want to take the time to do this. If you do, however, I promise this is a pretty damn cool optical illusion.
http://www.grand-illusions.com/optic...agon_illusion/ If you do decide to put out the effort to assemble one yourself, I'll note that it works best if you close one eye and if there are no shadows on it. |

The checker board illusion is probably the single most ****ed up thing I've seen in my life. We had a demonstration in my Psych class where you could compare the two squares side by side and it does actually work. Most of the illusions make sense to me after thinking about them, but that one never seizes to amaze me.

I should note there's a video of this thing fully assembled on the right hand side of the site. Kinda gives you an idea of what it does if you're not interested in building it yourself.

I made the dragon for a buddy of mine and it flipped him out. We would jump up and down and that thing followed us. Crazy.

This is lame. Thirty minutes of cutting and taping, and my real life dragon doesn't trick you at all like the video. Maybe you have to view the 3-d from a 2-d view of a monitor to get the same effect, but all I get is an inside out looking jacked up dragon.
