Look at the picture below. Do you notice anything funny?

Concentrate for a few seconds at the cross in the middle. You will see a green dot moving clockwise. After a few seconds the magenta dots will dissapear completely. :eek:

Look only at the cross, maybe get a little closer to the monitor (or decrease the resolution. Do not look at the green dot dirrectly. It's really an amazing effect.

That's pretty cool, but I must admit I was waiting for the scary face & scream the whole time. Damn those stupid gifs.

Yeah, I was thinkin "This is a bit below Aphex isn't it?" and after a face didn' appear, I actually bothered.

Also, if you don't look at the cross at all but instead just let your eyes follow the moving green circle, it's not green, but instead a darker shade of purple.

Very weird.

hmm....
I think that that is an animation, becouse when it is copied, there comes only 1 part of it

I was expecting a screamer. Neat though.

Yeah the animation makes one dot disappear, then the next, then the next, in a clockwise order, but doesn't make them all disappear at the same time, or the "invisible" dot turn green

:crazyeye: <-- never has that smiley been more appropriate......

EDIT: here's what it looks like when "copied":

Persistance of peripheral vision?

I think the magenta dots fall on the blind spot of your eye when you look at the cross in the centre, so they disappear after a while.
