Spinning lady
I'm aware this is somewhat old but it still amazes me.

If you see her turning clockwise you are right-brained. If she turns counter-clockwise you are left-brained. If she does both at the same time then you are lying and I ask you to leave.

I refuse to believe she is spinning the same way the whole time, I swear she keeps changing directions

Every time I look away, she starts spinning in the opposite direction. Kinda neat.

Mainly clockwise - I can make her go either way just by concentrating on the raised leg and deciding which way it's going - HOWEVER  the shadow is wrong for anti-clockwise Geek
What?

I see it only clockwise. However this test gives relevant information about my brain and the way it works. The thing is that I can hardly concentrate at something other than the lady's breasts. Geek

I always thought that the erect nipple was a nice touch.
 
Clockwise normally but you can force yourself to see it both ways if you try hard enough.

Counter-clockwise. In a flash I thought that she was spining clockwise, but it was easy to correct myself.
But it depends on the direction in which the clock turns. I have seen clocks turning in both directions.
When I say 'counter-clockwise' I mean that when it is 12 o'clock, the pointer is moving to the right.

You should never turn a clock in the wrong direction, it's bad for the machinery.

If the clock is transparent it depends on which side you stand on.

I know this one, a friend of mine tells me she spins in both directions but I fail to see it, for me she only turns clockwiseConfused

it's just an illusion, more a measure of perception than left/right brain I'd say

It was in a local pub. Behind the bar was a mirror. On the opposite wall was this clock, which was meant to be viewed through the mirror.

Dean, the pair of them is freaky, especially when one spins clockwise and the other one anti-clockwise Smile

OK that's just weird the before I answered the poll she was going clockwise and after counter clockwise.  I think I'm gonna hurl.

Good thing I picked the last option.

I dunno, but it's time for me to go.
