if you follow the dots ...they are all pink.
look at the + and you will see a  rotating green dot.
stare at the + and the pink dots disappear,with one green rotating dot.
neat how the brain works.

Wow, that's weird. If you stare at it long enough you can almost make the pink dots disappear and when you close your eyes you can see them!

Ok, the pink never disappears for me, but I can only see the green if I look at the +.  This is the same phenomena that make us hard to see on the road.

if i stare at it without blinking the pink goes away. as soon as i blink the pink dots reapear. i've seen this before but still think its pretty cool
But thence came the Great Schism, when the two like tribes diverged, and the Bobbers did take the Road to Cruiserdom and the Cafe Racers did ride to Sportbikedom and they did pollute the lands along their paths with their abominable spawn of Choppers, Stuntaz and like manner of unholy douchebaggery

It's the same kind of illusion. If you stare at it long enough the chick disappears and all you see is boobs! :o
