Optical Illusion Chalk Drawing - The Sidewalk Chalk Trap
This is one of my favorite pictures here. Wow. Send this one to your friends!
How would you like to be walking down the sidewalk and then suddenly
fall into a hole like these guys? Take a little closer look at who has
fallen into the hole. It's tough to tell but it looks like George W.
Bush and Cheney have fallen into the hole.... and is that Tony Blair
looking into the camera? Regardless, this sidewalk optical illusion
is just downright incredible!
UPDATE: Michael Jaynes, a loyal visitor to our site,
said this about the people in the photo: "I am not sure about the
second guy, but one of the people falling into the hole in the pavement/sidewalk
in one of the chalk drawings is John Major = ex. PM before Blair, who
is looking on.... i would imagine the other guy is meant to be Paddy
Ashdown, although it doesnt really look like him."
And Julius Gwyer told us this: "That's not Dick Cheney
following down the hole, it's John Major, the former British Prime Minister."
Thanks Mike and Julius! Since we were recently featured on the BBC,
it is good to know that you know who your leaders are! Bonus points
for Michael adding the phrase "bloody hard work" to
his email.

Moving Spiral Illusion
A version of our original moving spiral illusion was recently published in a popular college textbook.
It uses multiple illusory principles to give the illusion that it is moving when it is absolutely not moving. Big enough to be your desktop background!
