I just checked in my image editor (Gimp) . They are slightly slanted. The lines are not straight. I just checked in my image editor (Gimp) . They are slightly slanted.

This effect causes the small angles to add "weight" to the lines as they retreat from the angle. In the case of the horizontals above, for example, the diagonal line seems to add some thickness on the left above the line, but on the right below the line. This causes the horizontal line to appear "crooked" close to the intersection. Follow the line to the next intersection, and the effect repeats itself. The same happens on the verticals, but in the opposite direction. My two cents: When lines intersect at angles far off the perpendicular, they create Moiré patterns.

Also, this does have to to do with the photreceptors and rods in the eyes. While I'm not sure of the cause in this particular case, as it's in b&w, many simialr illusions in color have to do with the color of the after images caused by the photoreceptors in our eyes. Still if I had to take a stab at the cause for this one, I'd say it's the brightness of the lighter areas contrasting with the grey.

Stare "through" the diagonal lines, and the boxes immediately square up :) Interesting & simple – but also easy to overcome.
