[Dunderman]

Whoah... that's like totally heavy, dude.

[Hostile Dialect]

Woah! What a trip!

[jjimm]

Our consciousnesses are all, like, individual atoms in a gigantic ball - but we're outside the ball. And the ball is time.

[chaoticbear]

aww, I thought it was going to be something exciting. You guys have never seen this before? ;p

[Marlitharn]

Shoehorn butterhorse, man! Shoehorn butterhorse!!!

[Small Clanger]

Whoa! Flashback time

Advice, never look in a mirror when you're tripping. Just don't.

[JohnBckWLD]

40 Seconds @ 180rpms in Reverse is the 2 hit equivelant.

[bughunter]

In my collegel Psych 101 lecture, the professer demonstrated this for the whole auditorium full of students. He had a big 12" spinning spiral, and he told us to stare at the center, and then when he said "now" to look at his face.

Heh! The entire class went "whoa" at once.

Try it. First load this face (http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/n/d/ndk107/realbobSM.JPG) into a new browser window, and then on top of that, open the page linked to from the OP (for faces, the spiral works better in reverse, and maybe a little faster)

Stare at the center for 30 seconds, then bring the face picture to the foreground.

Trippy, eh?

Now do it with porn!

[Infectious Lass]

The illusion didn't work for me. All I get is a headache.

[clayton_e]

I just felt a little dizzy.

[World Eater]

Not too bad. Reminds of how the subway floors looked back in the old days. :D

[Mr. Blue Sky]

I remember seeing the spiral thingy in Omni Magazine back in the late 70's, but you had to cut it out and put it on your turntable.

[ratatoskK]

If you play it backwards it's a hymn to Satan...

[Freiheit]

Hey! I figured something slightly cool... stare for 30s, then SHUT your eyes really hard! Or does it only work with me?

I see a flower...

[Ace309]

I'd love to comment, but you'll have to excuse me. My wall is bleeding.

I saw fireworks, but in reverse... like an implosion or something. And only for a second.

[Ellis Dee]

Hehheh, reminds me of the good ole days.

[Already in Use]

I get a reverse fisheye effect. Total shoehorn butterhorse.

[Ranchoth]

Wow...so that's what the 60s were all about, then.

I dunno, I still prefer my Interneddication. (I'm grokking the whole gestalt, man!) ;)

[don't ask]

Like man it really works. It's 1 AM here and I can't get to sleep.

[CBCD]

I'm sorry, but that was NOT as good as the Joshua Light Show at the Fillmore East .....

[Vanyel]

WHOA

[Rysdad]

shoehorses don't have butterhorns but large dog cabinet was crystal blue persuasion oh shit

[WonTon Sean]

Dude, it's like, it's spinning, but really, you're the one who's spinning, man.

[Infectious Lass]

Ookay...I speeded up the spiral and reversed it. And it worked! agh. Freaky. When I look at my action figures it looks like they are breathing! :eek:

Really makes your eyes ache after a while though! :)

[Hostile Dialect]

I just realized how great it would be to look at this while under the influence of N2O. It'd be too loud to fill up a balloon and do that stuff here right now (parents are sleeping), so if anyone happens to have any psychedelic experiences that most certainly are not condoned or encouraged in any way by this post (nor are any other illegal acts condoned or encouraged by this post or myself), could they tell us about it? There must be some really interesting possibilities here.

[ccwaterback]

Help!!! I've fallen and I can't get up!!! :D

Whoa man. I so totally get that. We're like, on the same mental plane or something, man!

Am I the only for who can't get his web browser to display this? Opera doesn't show the spiral at all, and IE has the spiral but it doesn't rotate.

[Hostile Dialect]

It works great for me in Opera on WinXP, IE on WinXP, and IE on MacOSX.

[Dr. Rieux]

Trippy!

:cool:

I tried it today with the aid of a certain nitrogen & oxygen mixture, with one of my friends (she was using the same certain nitrogen & oxygen mixture). I didn't get anything off the first couple hits (first was a botched recycling attempt; second was a new balloon and good hit, but since I hadn't gotten a real hit in a little while I was surprised at it and coughed it out before I could hold it), and when I got the third hit (which knocked me into next week) I was too focused on how tripped out I was to pay attention to the spiral or to the Beach Boys music playing. Sorry.

My friend, BTW, said she didn't look at the spiral enough while under the influence to notice anything either.

Must have been regular air. Regular air has nitrogen and oxygen.

[Waddle]

Dude, this is extra crazy when you are running on no sleep and lots of caffine.

[AngelicGemma]

The spiral doesn't spin for me. It's a shame. It sounds really good!
