Only clockwise for me. But I don't think I'm mainly a right-brain type.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I have a slight confession to make...
The two images in the stereo pair are not the same, the first one is spinning anticlockwise:
...of course this anticlockwise image can give the illusion of spinning clockwise (easier if you obscure the shadow)
What?

Not seen this before but it is about the same in both directions. The stereo pair is weird especially when each are spinning in different directions.
Nice one.

I didn't try for too long, but I can only see a clockwise rotation.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

To all the people that thought they were cool because they voted for the option without any text have now confessed to smelling bad. Haha, jokes on you losers.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

no, it's a visual trick. if you click hard enough on the picture, it'll start spinning the other way around.

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. Edited by Slartibartfast - February 04 2009 at 07:13

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

Where on earth was this?
If the clock is transparent it depends on which side you stand on.
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.

Having done this a couple of times now, it's pretty much 50-50.
