Prepare to go insane

[neo-dragon]

A new day and hours of staring later, still clockwise. I see no counter clockwise and think all of you people are lying!

That's my conclusion, too. Screw it. She's going clockwise and we're either witnessing a conspiracy or a mass hallucination.

You guys just keep telling yourselves that.

[caretgraff]

He he he... that Time article that Rei posted was cool, I thought. But they didn't address what it meant if you could see it switch...

But since Time says she spins both ways, Eddie and Star need to go back and stare at her some more, I think.

[starlooker]

Time could be in on the conspiracy!

If the right/left brain thing is true, it means that those of you who can easily see it spin both ways have very well connected right/left brains and, therefore, should you have a stroke that affects one side of the brain, stand the best chance of regaining functionality.

[caretgraff]

But I love Time...

Would it follow that if you could see it spinning in both directions, you were probably a little ambidextrous? Cuz I'm not at all. So I'm thinking it's a fluke.

[Mich]

Right brain-left brain functionality don't necessarily make you ambidextrous. You use both sides all the time. You can still USE your other hand, right?

And I think I'm going to have an anxiety attack if I try to make her spin counter-clockwise any more. For serious. It is not happening.

[Gravity Defier]

I'm with the blinkers; if I blinked fast enough in succession, the direction would change. She also changed direction for me if I had two pages going and switched back and forth from one to the other. She started out clockwise for me. Pretty cool stuff.

[vendor]

blinkers rule!

[starlooker]

Blinking just made me feel sick.

If I put three screens up at once, so that the animation goes all floopy and it appears that she has several legs on the screen at once for a few seconds, then, sometimes, one of the ones I'm not looking at in my peripheral vision for a millisecond will seem to be coing counter-clockwise. But the second I look at it it's going clockwise again.

I can't see Magic Eye puzzles, either, no matter how long I stare or what tricks I try. Can you, Mich? EP? Maybe that has something to do with it.

[Luet]

I'm a clockwise only seer too, but I can see magic eye pictures. So, I don't think that theory holds up.

[starlooker]

Oh, great, my brain is deficient in two types of visual trick seeing thingys.

You know, I'm actually starting to feel like something of a failure? This is because, against my better judgment, I just spent fifteen minute staring at magic eye thingies in hopes that this time I'd be able to see them.

Don't feel too bad because I can never see anything from visual tricks, including this one.

[Rei]

I loathe magic eye pictures. I have never been able to see them. On one occasion I pretended to myself that I could, but I really couldn't.

[Luet]

The way I'm able to see the magic eye pictures is to cross my eyes and then slowly let them go back to normal...and at some point in between fully crossed and not crossed, that's when I can see it. In case that helps!
