Great optical illuson!

One, the diagonal lines disappear after a few seconds and the other which i am surprised no one noticed yet is that once the diagonal lines disappear and you move your eyes immediately to the left of the illusion picture and look quickly at a light colored page (side of the webpage) you will see diagonal lines appear for a short period. there are 2 parts to this illusion.
