Dave Beeson spotted this funny gag on the the BBC homepage. I noticed that many good illusions come from people spotting them on BBC. Like for example Marina Apollonio’s installation and BBC’s optical illusions test. After you browsed those, you should try scrolling this page up and down, and you will see interesting effect that makes the fan near the girl spin! Yes that’s right, this is because of scintillating effect. This is what Dave wrote: “Hi, heres an optical illusion I just spotted on the BBC news website, it was an article about redheads… as I scrolled the page the fan appeared to spin… try scrolling the page … good eh?”
coolio
i get it
i dont really get how its an illusion but thats aite
its still pretty sweet
ya not much of an illusion but sorta cool
yeh gr8, not one the best thou
ya this lusion totaly rocks
its not spinning for me -.-‘
does this only work on crt mointors as it does fek all on my lcd???
I take it all back!! it does work on my lcd. I was scrolling too fast, not the best but not the worst either! 6/10
me thinks i will just try my luck with the random illusion button instead tonite
i think it only works on LCDs, on mine it does
It doesn’t work for me.
At first I thought this was another “Seemingly Photoshopped Illusion”. Her head doesn’t look like it belongs with her body! ;)
I couldn’t see it either because I was using my mouse scroll button.
But I see it now! You have to drag the scrollbar on the webpage to see this.
that doesn’t work for me…
well it wasn’t spinning for me either but that because i was scrolling with my mouse :)
you need to use the sidebar for it :)
sorry you lost me on this one
am I supposed to be entertained by this? what are we, three?
cool! i bet its becaus eof the refresh rate. it works on my lcd
Lame.
Good find but…
Does the BBC know about this?
You have to scroll it slowly, otherwise it doesn’t work.
Oh i get it, its a joke for people who take themselves to seriously. Its not really an optical illusion, just to make you feel like an idoit for trying to see something.
nothing on my LCD… I have an ultra fast monitor though (2ms response time) does it work on slower monitors? how about TFT?
It doesnt work for me either! No matter how i scroll it!
umm…. well my names cola and really dont get it but w.e ♥ byebye
someone smokin good stuff !!
Im sorry but I dont see nothing spin..I just wasted 2 mins of my time:p
wow
ok….it worked for me, but i think if you are going to get mad because you dont know how to scroll up and down your screen…then you really need a life….
wow..yeah..if your gonna get mad because you dont know how to scroll up and down your screen “the right way”….then you really need a life
yipee.
this was is not a “funny gag” or a “good illusion”
and everyone who says I don’t get it is seriously and idiot their is nothing to get. Its a picture.
and I’m totally there with the 24th comment.
theyr not idiots i didnt get it for AAAAAAAAAGES and when i did finally it was so lame that i REALLY wished i hadn’t waisted my time
Your Lame!!!!!!!!!!!1
that is so gay and not an optical illusion at all
COOL, i also aw another one, when u focus on the fan while srolling, the #32 appears to change numbers!
Right then… you so could have found a better one…
thats sooooo cool it looks just like its spinning
Yeah I agree with Anonymous its lame.
lol
Don’t use your mouse: just press the cursor up and down keys alternatively very quickly instead, to make the page go up and down slightly.
