What, are some of them women? Just kidding. What's the illusion, eh?

One frame has 12 men that are 13 units tall.

The other frame has 13 men that are 12 units tall.

The difference between 12 and 13 units is insignificant enough to trick the mind.

I remember my mom got an email of that once.  I still think it's weird.

I've seen this at an old forum I used to be an admin at.

Refer to my first post and your mind will be un-messed with.

The best example to view that phenomenum on is the far left man -- his hair is cut off somewhat when the image transitions from 12 to 13. Another person near the middle loses the soles of his shoes.

Another thing-- Notice how some of the mens' heads change. After about 5 slides, they go back to normal. For example: One man's head is long in the first slide, then his is short and chubby, then it is semi-long, and it changes to short & chubby again, then finaly, it goes back to the long head. See?

I get it. The two top parts switch to the correct way so 12 is correct. I guess. Forget it.
