i think the question is supposed to be "do the horizontal lines look slanted?"
Well, "Slanted" is a better word than "curvy".......
slanted also works, but they were curvy to me to
That trips me out a bit, the lines can be slatned, straight or curved, wierd.
its still awsome curved or slanted no matter witch one
Good one , it made my eyes water, great... I really like these, very fun

Of course they LOOK bendy. But I know they aren't cause otherwise it wouldn't be listed as an optical-illusion.

Very cool...did anyone notice that if you slide the page up and down the black squares seem to move around?
i was wondering if there was something wrong with me because the lines didn't look curvy at all . i guess other people had issue with that . the lines did look slanted though !
Simply Awesome
omg i like this one alot!! but it gives me a headache.

i have seen this before but it's still rlly kool
I have been watching too many things this morning... Totally Awesome optical illusion!
Woooha.... Make the page go up and down while starting at it... (clickey wheel).... Awsome... Saw in my Geometry book
Cool I like that it appers move also
I don't understand why my eyes want to play tricks on me.Cool illusion though.
its straight!!lol if u move your cursor thingy up n down it looks like the lines are wavy.
I liked this illusion a lot. It is funny what just a little staggering of blocks can do to perfectly straight lines-a little philosophical, huh?
loved it!!!!!!!!

Move your eyes back and forth and it moves!

Scroll up and down. They seem to move!
They also seem slanted. (it;'s a slanted mouth.)
they seemed straight to me!!
well they are straight and if u ppl out there will take a piece of paper it will be proved so take a chance and try it piece out
Shouldn't that be in the Optical illutions category?
It is,
Thats Fun

The gray lines look like they move. It looks pretty cool I think.

technically, it isn't slanted or anything.
Simply, the "checkerboard"
isn't exactly formatted as it should.
The row under each other is simply
placed out of the order therefore
making it look slanted.

Good job. Now, go to the first trivia ever made.

they looked straight
If you look at the side, or the ends of the lines, they are perfect.

I don't even need a ruler to tell these lines are straight. The lines are just at a certain angle that makes them look slanted or curved. Great illusion, Jake!
perfect one!
WOW!!! that was a tricky one but I used a chocolate bar instead for a piece of paper.LOL
all of u are awesome thank u for not cussing
all of u are awesome thank u for not cussing
This freaks my mind
Interestingly enough,
if you scroll the page up & down a bunch,
it appears that the lines are moving back & forth.
