Here are some visual illusions. I included some favorites from old posts. You will probably have to click on many of these pictures to get an enlarged view to see the illusion. I set it so the pictures will pop up in a new tab or window (depending on your browser.)
These two tables ave the same dimensions:
In the image on the left, squares A and B are the same shade of gray. The image on the right proves it.

These always make me nuts...but they're kewl...

Those Things are Awesome!!
Wow, haven't seen many of those in years! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. (Memory Lane, by the way, is made of parallel lines.)

I'm going to have to send you some of the ones i've come across :-)
That'll hopefully mess with your mind as well!!
