Definitely not rooting for that hoity toity Pekingese, that's for damn sure. #Westminster
I'm, like, okay with being a little crazy.
The time, energy, words, weight lost, nails bitten, scabs picked and nights I've struggled thru for this are easy to judge from afar, right?
Things I won't miss about being a freelancer: incorrectly estimating my taxes and owing a ton of cash at the end of the year.

They say that if you do not see any movement within this image - then you are retarted...

If you're having difficulty seeing the wheels "spin" try slowly moving your gaze across the picture from side to side or up and down. Or try moving your vision in and out of focus. No two people are alike, so it may work differently for each individual.

let's say that you can't see it turning. that is because you are not
curious enough to actually try and find out what this illusion is
about. the argument number 2 is the answer for you to remember. you
should try everything that are evoking in your mind and practice
them. don't just sit your eye on a single wheel and expect it will
turn--because it will not.
the reason why ALL sorts of illusions work is because the illusion
reflects on what you do, what you think, what you believe, or how you
do, how you think, and how you believe the way everything works.
try to break the limit of your own--border or wall--that you had set
it while you were getting educated by the surroundings. be creative
and be motivated on what you want to know, and what you want to
prove.

I don't see them spinning either. I've seen this before about ayear ago and it definately spun. Why isn't it spinning now for me?
Izzie V.Oct 17th 2007 10:32PM

THESE ARE NOT MOVING NO MATTER HOW LONG I LOOK AT THEM.
JonOct 17th 2007 10:38PM

I DID NOT USE VERA DEE HILL AS MY NAME. I USED VERA. AND THESE WHEELS ARE NOT SPINNING.

the wheels do appear to spin, but you can stop them too. when i stare at the whole thing, not just one, then none appear to spin, especially if you're a little out of focus. but when i look at a few in particular, they appear to spin

OK. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH U PEOPLE!!! JUST LOOK AT ONE STINKIN CIRCLE.AND IF U STILL CAN'T SEE THEM U HAVE TO GO SEE A DOCTOR.OMG YOU PEOPLE FRUSTRATE ME!!!!!!! GOSH, GET IT RIGHT

Anytime I look at one, it holds still and all of the ones around it spins. Then, when I change to a different wheel the same thing happens. :-)

Si tu miras un solo circulo
los demas se mueven en circulo.

The picture is too small to see it work. Hit the link - it's larger there - and see it work. It's is one of the coolest illusions out there.
JudyOct 18th 2007 12:14AM
Nothings move at all - boooooo
