Hello All!

This is definitely OT but I don't know where else to post it. I find the
illusion almost annoying in the way I can't keep one view. Possibly, you
have seen it before but I just came across it (topical at Easter time).
Make sure you scan down to the end of the page for a simpler view :-)

Concentrate James, concentrate. We used this illusion in some pysch
classes way yonder long ago when I was going to college. Been around a
long time if you look at the first date of use. It's easier for me as I
dislike duck but love rabbit.

Look at the beak, it's a duck - look at the back of the duck's head
and it turns into a rabbit. Look at the eye and it flips back and
forth... your dominate eye and non-dominate eye are taking turns.

Oh yes, the web page does acknowledge the age of the illusion:Jastrow's
cartoon was based on one originally published in Harper's Weekly (Nov.
19, 1892, p. 1114) which, in turn, was based on an earlier illustration
in Fliegende Bl?tter, a German humor magazine (Oct. 23, 1892, p. 147).

However, I'd never seen it previously!

My psychology textbook had a neat illusion that was two photos of Madonna.
One normal and the other one was upside down. The upside down one had been
photoshopped so that her eyes and mouth were turned upside down. You
couldn't tell that was the case until you turned the book upside down.
Pretty neat.

They could probably do the same thing today with Lady Gaga.
