I have seen it before
But it still rocks
But it still rocks
irish41, if you hate it so much and it's so "stupid" or "nerdy" then DON'T LOOK AT IT. You don't like it. Okay. But that doesn't mean nobody on Earth likes it. I do like this, and have no idea how it works. No matter how much I look at it.
very cool
i luv looking at these
i know it is supposed to trick your brain i won't be satisfied until i truly get it
optical illusions are really fun to look at but they drive me insane until i get them
o wel

Isn't it amazing, what we can teach our minds to believe? And then, we will always tend to question our results! Thank goodness, we do... In real life, these things are only possible in drawings or when we trick our eyes into believing, what we see?!
Hey, irish41, every heard if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all? I've seen a lot of your comments and they really make people feel bad about their teasers! It's just like somebody with no skills whatsoever in writing teasers to trash everybody else! Get a life!
OK, this is a major change from that speech, but I really enjoyed the optical illusion!

Every time I see this illusion, it drives me crazy!
I like em. I could ramble, but I guess I hope I wont too badly. I like to read others' rambles as well as write my own. Im not doing this puropsly, I just wanted to say it. To those of you who can't say anything nice, then please.... Shut up! Sorry for being long, bye!
(Asked my bro to look) He saw the lateral lines that only go up by his view! (10)
Dang.
ive sieen this my optical illusions book
If you liked this, you would love M.C Esher's pen and ink sketches. He has a set of stairs like these drawn as the top of a castle turret, with people trudging up and down them. He has another that is a circular series of waterfalls. My favorite is the ants crawling along a grid that is a Mobeus strip.
cool!!!!!!
lol i wouln't wanna walk on those....=|
Wow I am scared to heck by elevators but I would rather take an elevator than walk afew infinate flights!
it's accually possible if u think of it
better make sure u dont loose your way or get lost going up or down the stairs!
...........If only stairs like that have been invented in real life. Have they?
Those are amazing, just like those pictures by that one artist (I am impossible and confusing, please live through this) where there are stairs going up and down and lizards all over them and hands drawing themselves and birds melting into one another.
Yeah, that artist, this picture is like one of his only simpler ^-^ I like it, thanks for putting it up!

this was soooo cool i luv these things
Ah, the old staircase trick. i love it.

HOW'S IT DONE ?????????????????? ????????????????? ????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????? ?????????? ?????????????????????????? ?????????????????????? ???????????? ????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????? ????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????? ???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!?!
Love it!
Awsome
nice dude seen em before but cool illusion
Hey, that would be great for working out! Try to reach the top, and if you can't, well, at least you lost 10 pounds trying!
WHOA. FREAKY.
... -someone- sure doesn't like optical illusions... but I do I like this one.
Not bad!!!
This drives me crazy! I want to know how you get onto the stairs in the first place lol.
I really want to know why this happens. Is it because of the different lengths? The angles? Or what?
It reminds me of the movie Labrynth.
That's cool!
I wonder how that works...
I wonder how that works...
dude . . . my head hurts now . . . but it's still awesome!!
LOL iS THERE A START iN THE STAiRS..BUT ANYWAY iT CONFUSED ME AND iM VERY iNTELLiGENT
This IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .i can do it all day
i found out the highest corner. it is not an optical illusion. if you have the logic to know the highest corner. what you need is a Diophantine ruler, measure the stair length and the longest is the highest. that's what you learn in high school. you see i have a math and algebra level of a senior in high school.
i didnt get it whats the point
Aug 13, 2009
Hmph Hmph hmph hmph... almost there... WHAT?!?!?! THERE'S MORE STAIRS?!?!?! ARGH!!! HOW LONG DOES THIS GO!!!!!!!

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could stare at it forever!!!
I could stare at it forever!!!
