Just what is it? It's pretty wierd - stuff only spins when it is in your peripheral vision. When you look right at it, it stops!

They don't ever really spin (they're jpeg images) it just seems that way. It's probably our brains interpolating or somethin'.

If you stare at one spot and don't move your eyes they stop moving. I'm sure it has something to do with the refresh rate of the monitor. If you had that sheet in your hand they wouldn't move, I hope. Or maybe they really are coming to take me away, ha, ha.

Try this one. Stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds then look at the other picture.
I used to have a vinyl music record with this picture on it. Good party trick. http://dogfeathers.com/java/spirals.html |
