Snooze Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Errr - okay - I give up. It was meant to be a joke; a classic optical illusion which I intended to parody with something that was obviously incorrect, and then tried to encourage people to gaze at an image (which I knocked up in 5 seconds in MS Paint) for longer. This square has a "fifth side" which mysteriously appears when you stare at it for a few seconds: http://aycu12.webshots.com/image/21851/2005904653685142121_rs.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukeyboy2k Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 One day I might finally realise that I'm actually not that funny! I laughed. I genuinely thought the one with the two lines was really good - next time I'll post my approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
