This board of tiles (or Azulejos, which is a form of Portugese artwork that involves tilework), is making my brain lose its gray matter. The tile board somehow maintains the same number of tiles even when some individual tiles are removed. How did all the tiles fit in the first place? How does it still fit after getting rid of three tiles? Where is the missing square? What sorcery is this? Read More >>

The count isn't really relevant, it's the angles that matter, they leave you with tiles that aren't ..." More »
Our favourite mind warping illusionist Brusspup has a slick new trick to wrap your raisin brain around: water flows normally and then BOOM, it warps and twists and bends like you never imagined water could when sound hits it. How does this happen? Read More >>

After a Monday like yesterday, it's not easy to get your brain back in gear for the rest of the work week. So consider this two-and-a-half minute collection of optical illusions a mental boot camp with Richard Wiseman serving as your overly-pleasant drill sergeant. Read More >>
Most of the times the classic MySpace self-portrait is trashy. Sometimes they're accidentally hilarious. With this Photoshop trick, they can be mind-numbingly, body-trippingly awesome. That's because it's a mirrored self-portrait of you... without the camera in the picture. Read More >>

Gah! No, this isn't an animated gif but so help me god it won't. Stop. Moving. The full-sized, square version does it even more. If you stare hard at one point it'll kinda quit it, but really, you know it never stops. Ever. [BuzzFeed] Read More >>
As more and more small white dots are added to this black and white checkerboard in arrow patterns, your eyes are automatically drawn towards its centre and you'll start to start to think it looks warped. But it's not. Excuse me while I go vomit. Read More >>

Want to add more wrinkles to that ol' brain of yours? Stare at the colored dots on the girl's nose in the photo above for 30 seconds. Then look at a white surface (blank browser, mayhaps) and start blinking. You should see a non-negative image of the girl. WHAT. BRAIN. MELTING. WHAT. OHMYGOD. Yep, that jiggly stuff in your head just processed a negative image. Sweet. [PetaPixel] Read More >>
Take a good look at this image. In fact, stare at it, dead centre. There's no trick to it; just look straight ahead, relax, and watch as something you know is there vanishes into nothingness. Read More >>

This photography illusion, made with a Samsung L100 camera and Photoshop, turns half of a person's face into a picture of their profile too. Are they looking straight at you? Or looking to the side? I can't freaking tell and it's giving me brain sores. Read More >>
I hate optical illusions. They make me feel like there's a hole in my puny brain. This illusion, where two cigarettes — one big, one small — are actually the same freaking size is making my brain light on fire. HOW. HOW. HOW. [The Awesomer]Read More >>
