Ragweed kills farm animals and horses, and the law states, at least in Britain that we are obliged to pull it up whenever we see it growing.
We had to regularly go over our fields and pull up any ragweed growing there, it’s a pointless job unless you have farm animals because it’s so rife! An utter pest!

@Mark: It is possible, but I suppose Vurdlak needs to explain it himself. Why? Because:

1. Animated simply means “moving.” Even if Vurdlak is not a native speaker of the language, that much should be clear to him. Granted that you could be misled/misunderstood because of the abundant usage of the word “animated” to replace the word “cartoon” (as in the animated series or animated movie) so that you’d think “animated” means “cartoon” or “cartoon characters.” Still, it’s kind of a silly misunderstanding for someone who has created and maintained this excellence of a website for years, IMHO.

2. Not all of his illusions are real life people/object taken with a camera. Some are drawn, like the central dot illusion, the bending lines illusion, the Jesus illusion, and some are even cartoony like the missing egg illusion. And Vurdlak didn’t call them animated illusions.

3. Vurdlak has one full category of illusions he called “Animations” with moving images or images that seem to be moving, rotating and whatnot. I guess it’s fair to say that he knows what “animated” means.

@Vurdlak: Please, Vurdlak. Do this for your loyal visitors.

Everyone… when he says “animated” I’m pretty sure he means “drawn” and not real life photographs taken with a camera. It has nothing to do with the pictures moving.

I like them, but what’s animated here?

I can’t get the animations moving, unfortunately. They look like they’d be cool. And I don’t mind hearing about your difficulties, Vurdlak. It certainly explains why the Illusion didn’t change for a few days.

I’m sorry about your allergic reaction, Vurdlak. Hope you’re better now. Isn’t there anything you can do to prevent it? You know, seeing that you knew what would happen in advance.

As for the illusions. They baffled me!

Not because they’re great or anything. Because they didn’t animate. I saw the type of the images (like trying to save them to my hard drive) and I found that they were jpg images. Well, jpg images don’t animate, do they? It was usually gif images that animate.

Anyone can help me with this? Thanks, guys!
