        Susan,

        Optical illusions display quite differently on computer monitors, if the size of the picture is different, and behave differently if printed out.
        I know the one you displayed here, which doesn’t show the expected effect, if one looks at it on the opening blog screen, only if one clicks on it and makes it full screen. The effect again goes away, if one clicks on the + sign to further magnify the picture. That’s why you probably didn’t get any appropriate reaction (people didn’t click to magnify, after seeing nothing first 🙂

        For an old graphic design joke, since the following (to the tune of “That’s Amore”):

        When those lines hit your eye
        Like a big piece of pie
        That’s a moiré

        Try to move the mouse wheel while watching the picture. There is an interesting optical effect then.
