OK, there's this little optical illusion I once encountered on some random website:
12 guys to 13
There are 12 little cartoon guys. The picture shifts, and then there are 13. I know how this must work, but I'm having the darndest time figuring out just how. I think it's fun just to stare at it for a few minutes.
By the way, I'm working on a photo site for the blog (see link on the right). I have a few test photos up there from Sea World. I promise to put up some photos that have Kim in them soon!

Chris,
Matthew Baldwin over at Defective Yeti has a very cool visual description of how this works. It explains how it works and I sort of understand it, but I still can't imagine how people think up these things in the first place!
Tim, The second link didn't work for me, but I found the explanation in the April 2005 archive of his site. To me, the question is not how people think these things up, but how you find other people's explanations of them! Thanks.
