    I don’t get the illusion, the cross never changed the entire time I looked at it.

      Perhaps your eyes are not working quite right? What happens to me is that I focus entirely on the cross, but I still perceive the faces out of the corners of my eyes, but those faces now look like grotesque monsters. The moment I focus on face they are back to normal humans, the moment i focus on the cross its evilness lurking in the shadows :)

    Why can’t I see previous day’s posts? I only get today’s post then have to select by topic? What kind of sense does that make. You don’t post by topic. You post chronologically. You add a topic then sort. But I only get to look at this every few days. Now I can only see one day’s worth then pick a single topic. It’s crazy!!! Boing Boing did the same thing almost a year ago. I emailed them and they changed it the same day then emailed me back and told me that they changed it.

      Because the guy doing the lay out is also doing LSD and showing the wonderful things he can do while trippin’

    Interestingly, the effect still works even if viewing the crosshair with only one eye open, so it’s not a stereoscopic trick.
