An absolutely grand collection of some of the most interesting optical illusions / visual illusions ever seen. I thought it would be fun to share since we all work with video here. Might even give someone a few ideas :)

This same site was posted here a month ago.

Let that be a lesson Jonathan.
Always do an exhaustive search before posting anything that may have been posted before, including questions.
Some find that irritating and will throw a wet blanket on your excitement.
I like to think of this as a forum where we interact and not just data bank of information.
At the same time you'll find the OT crowd rambling on endlessly about politics.
The site you shared is amazing.
I for one would never have found it by doing a search.

Well, now that it's been proved the face on Mars is just a kind of windswept plateau (the clearer pictures he provides) I guess the next disappointment I'll have to deal with is when I find out the moon is Not made of green cheese.

Jay_Gladwell, I'm sorry. You're on digg.com too, aren't you.

Sherman, lesson learned: ""Who knows what topic lurks in the deeps of our forums? My Shadow knows!""

Paul_Holmes, check out http://moon.google.com/ and zoom in all the way. If you haven't already, you may be pleasantly surprised.
