Sometimes we have to take a break from all the problems and serious issues of the world and read, talk about or look at something that is nothing more than a few minutes of entertainment.  Check this picture out and let me know if it works for you.  I followed the instructions below the picture and it didn’t work for me.

Stare at this moving spiral optical illusion for about 30 seconds, then look at your hand, or a pen. You’ll see it start to move and distort whatever object you look at. This is another one of our favorite optical illusions! In fact it’s so great, that it took me a long time to actually publish this article about this spiral illusion because I’ve been staring into the spiral and am totally mesmorized! See if you can break away after you watch this picture and check out some of our other spiral illusions!
