black gif???!

So here i was, browsing the net and wasting my time, when i saw this post from a friend. The Spinning Silhouette Optical Illusion. "An optical illusion? Oh well, better try this since i'm procrastinating anyway." So i clicked it, checked if it was a prank from the comments, and saw that spinning gif at the top. The text says that if you stare at it for a few minutes, you'll see the silhouette flip/turn to the other side (from clockwise -> counter clockwise).

"Oh hell no, impossible!" i said. But i kept staring at it anyway. I tried imaging how it would look turning towards the other side, but i just couldn't. So i continued staring unti-- HOLY BATMAN ON A STICK! DID THAT SILHOUETTE JUST CHANGE DIRECTION??

You can tell i was surprised from the manner of my speaking/typing, plus i shed a tear or two because i do that every time i'm surprised or happy or scared..

So anyway, my friend says that "left=logic, right=artistic/emotional". They say it's like a RIGHT BRAIN vs LEFT BRAIN challenge.

For a while, i couldn't unsee the counter clockwise direction, but then it went back to the usual clockwise. Some people in the comment box said that they can change the direction of the gif at will. So i tried staring and forcing myself to make it change direction, and i successfully did.. for 3 seconds. orz

How about you? Go freak your minds out, guys.

nope is the GIf is form counter-clockwise then turns to clockwise there's no optical ilusion there
