Four Eyes Illusion
Status: Fake
Obviously photoshopped, but interesting nonetheless. Looking at it too long may cause a sensation of whirling and loss of balance. I found it at Mason Inman's blog. (I have no idea where he found it). |

Ow...that hurts my eyes.

Damn, it's almost impossible to keep your vision focused on the picture.
Posted by Dan on Tue Jan 10, 2006 at 03:49 AM
Yes, it's an old illusion (but a good one). As far as I can recall, it has to do with the way our brains are hard-wired to figure out human faces, and the "code" gets tripped by this kind of messed up picture. Another good one is the upside-down messed up face, which looks normal as long as it stays that way (upside-down).
As all good optical illusions, both reveal something about our brains' inner workings.

I agree with Smerk and Dan both, but if you want a real good idea of what this gal looks like, focus on the nose, the correct eyes and mouth will come in clear, as the lower mouth takes the position and basic shape of the chin... FOCUS!!!

It's hard to even notice she has two mouths as well. Gave me a headache staring at it.

I can see how it might be an advantage to have four eyes, but two mouths seems entirely superfluous.
I guess it would make you truly bilingual, though.

I'm severly nearsighted (with an astigmatism), so when I take off my glasses, her face looks completely normal to me (from a distance of about 8 inches; further back and it becomes an unrecognizable blur.)

"Oh great, another mouth to feed."
Also, this is similar to the singers in the original Battlestar Galactica, except their four eyes were all in a row.

You say, "Looking at it too long may cause a sensation of whirling and loss of balance."
Looking at the sun too long may cause a sensation of whirling and loss of balance. Looking at Niagara Falls too long may cause a sensation of whirling and loss of balance. Looking at your own navel too long may cause a sensation of whirling and loss of balance. Looking into a cat's eyes too long may cause a sensation of whirling and loss of balance. Looking at George W. Bush too long may cause a sensation of whirling and loss of balance. Looking at nothing too long may cause a sensation of whirling and loss of balance. Looking at goatse too long may cause a sensation of whirling and loss of balance. Looking at the three of clubs too long may cause a sensation of whirling and loss of balance. Looking at just about anything too long may cause a sensation of whirling and loss of balance.

So what's your point, Rick?

i think rick is saying looking at him too long may cause a sensation of whirling and loss of balance. lol.
i don't feel whirling or sense of lost balance when i'm looking too long at certain orifices in porn though.
