You didn't read the fine print...

You must gouge your eyes out...

[Dan]

Very Cool.

On the smiley face one, the image I see when blinking at the wall is bright red. Wierd because the one on the computer screeen is blue.

[Coyote]

My eyes!

[GAR]

Sesh you are going to hell for that one.

With the Exorcist music I was expecting something scary

[Anonymous]

Pffft.

Years of drinking, rotating ceilings & stuff that just wouldn't quit moving have made me strong. Your magic is weak, Scotchman. I can stop those almonds from swirling every time I want.

Cheers! :bottle:

Hey, that hippie guy was pretty scary. Did you take a look at that beard? He probably hasn't shaved for days!

Probably hasn't bathed in years.

Cheers! :bottle:

Strobe + a little move looks like a big zoom...

Same here. I've had some absolutely terrifying highs in the past. Those moving coffee beans don't faze me.

Take the Air Force pilot physical sometime. They put you in this gyro thing and spin you around like crazy and then make you do puzzles. Then they spin you around in this swivel chair and make you identify instruments on the panel. I never puked but fucking red/green color blindness did me in of all things.

A Halo Over Moscow
by Mike Krumboltz
13 hours ago
And you thought rainbows were cool. A few days ago, a mysterious cloud shaped like a halo appeared over Moscow, and the buzz has yet to break.

We're the first to admit that a photograph of the heavenly cloud appears to be photoshopped. It's just so...perfect. But meterologists have spoken up and said the cloud wasn't digitally altered. However, it wasn't exactly what it appeared to be, either.

When the cloud initially formed, some UFO enthusiasts declared it to be a "true mystery." Some even compared it to the giant spaceship hovering over Earth in the movie "Independence Day." Reality quickly dashed any predictions of an alien invasion. An article from the Daily Mail explains that the "luminous ring-shaped cloud" was simply an optical effect.

An official spokesperson for Moscow's weather department said, "Several fronts have been passing through Moscow recently, there was an intrusion of the Arctic air too, the sun was shining from the west — this is how the effect was produced."

The cloud loomed last week, but the searches are still soaring. Lookups on "halo cloud" and "moscow cloud" are both booming, and a video clip has garnered hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube. You can check it out for yourself above...

The mother ship has arrived. I wonder if George Clinton is aboard?

OMG - that is WEIRD. Cause the first time I DIDN'T stare at the dot - cause I thought Sesh had posted one of those things where about 3/4 of the way through Freddie Krueger jumps out of the screen with a bloodcurdling shriek. So I watched it just go from blue to black and white. Once I decided I was not going to be scared out of my wits - I did it the right way and DID see color on the walls. (Not blue) Funny how our minds trick us.

So was the idea of Elvis's video that even after the smiley face, when you keep blinking, you see Jesus-face again? Or have I seen a religious sighting?

Have you guys seen those 3D optical things, where you have to relax your eyes to see another image? Those are cool.

[ELVIS]

Mais yeah !!

[envy_me]

Mais yeah !!

There was a show yesterday here about swedish metal. And they interviewed Yngwie. Man, he is THE KING I thought about you when he came on.

[envy_me]

Make the train go away from you just by thinking about it.

Now make it come towards you.

[envy_me]

This is the same as the train, you can decide which way you want her to spin. You just have to focus.

[envy_me]

I just tried doing it with Dr. Loves signature, but it didn't work
