Title: Finally, an Optical Illusion I caught Right Away
Post by: Ben on October 26, 2016, 06:07:37 PM: Usually it takes me forever, plus going cross-eyed, to catch these things, but this one I caught the first second I saw it:

Must be something pisikyological involved in my perceptions.

And no, I did not get all hornified and bonerized at the pic.

But it did look better after I rotated it 180Â° with MSPaint.
