I found that to be strangely disturbing.

Thanks

Shades of U2's "Even Better Than The Real Thing" video, no?

you know what creeps me out about that? The pixelization just before the loop restarts. I started staring at individual pixels so hard that my brain popped.

but why?

I started staring at individual pixels so hard that my brain popped.

Yeah, I hear that. Happened to me back about '93 or so, but with Fractint set to colorcycle one of the aptly-named "headache" high contrast maps and a 386 DX 40. Haven't been the same ever since.

Except I can't really remember if it was my brain that popped or the balloon, but no matter, both were nearly empty anyway.

This is going to be imitated in unholy ways. Koch snowflake...Peano curve?

i've got hands on my fingers, but those hands don't have hands on their fingers as far as i know. Maybe i'm not looking close enough.

Wow, I've never come across a flash animation that actually made me nauseated before. Neat!

The truth is not one
Nor is it five
But it is both of these things
And at least three more besides.

Man, that made me feel strange all over. I was dismayed to find, at the website behind it all, that Belgium does not exist. Where am I going to get my Trappist Ales from?
