This is a thread for crazy optical illusions.

Links:
A lot of other sites link to this, so it's probably good.
One of those things that Wikipedia is actually reliable for. (Optical Illusions Wiki)

    It looks like 56000 baud is higher than 56k

    Maybe I should modify that.

    I really want to do some of those, but my allergies are acting up and if I stare at something for too long my eyes start gushing liquids.

    There's something like, if you look at one point on her legs, it switches.
    It's either there, or where the foot and the shadow meet.

    turn your head so you see it out of the corner of your head and then turn back to facing it

    Until you actually get to the point where you can see either, it seems like only one direction is possible

    but you're wrong, I can see either

    took me a couple of minutes though

    I saw here going counterclockwise at first and what helped me to see her going clockwise was to rotate a finger clockwise in time with her spinning, and after a little bit that's what I suddenly saw
