If you like the neat color optical illusion posted by Neatoramanaut Minnesotastan from the Upcoming Queue, check this one out by Rob Jenkins of the University of Glasgow and Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire:

Far better than the Jesus version. Sadly, my mom found the Jesus one inspiring (GFL...mom, its science, not the freakin rapture!) and amazing. Wonder if she'll feel the same way if I send the Darwin one. Muahahaha!

I focused on the image for about an hour, and then closed my eyes for 5 seconds. When I opened them back up, Charles Darwin was standing right in front of me and punched me square in the jaw. Thanks a lot!

Way cool. Much better than the Jesus one they showed in science class as a kid.
