Right brain vs left brain

Someone at work sent me this link. It's really bothering me that I can only see it turn clockwise. The person who sent it can only see it move counterclockwise and another sees it changing directions. If you try it, tell me what you see...

At first I thought they were just pulling my leg, but I read enough comments by people who claim to be able to see it move both ways that apparently I'm just only able to see it one way.

Clockwise. Nothing else. Not even remotely.

Just clockwise! If people see it both ways, they have too much time on their hands. ;)

Wayne's grandparents emailed that they see her moving both ways. :)

OK, after updating my blog, I looked at the link with hopes that I could make her turn counterclockwise. But, strangely enough, as soon as I opened the link, she was turning counter clockwise. I couldn't get her to go the other way. I would think that it's all a trick if I hadn't been standing behind a coworker watching her turn clockwise while my coworker was telling me she was turning one way then the other over and over. I don't get it!

Melissa had emailed this to us as well. I only see it as clockwise and Wil can only see it counter clockwise. The descriptions of Left and Right Brain match us but it's really frustrating when you try so hard to see it going the opposite direction. It's equally hard when we don't understand each others way of thinking!

i can only see the b#$@& turn counterclockwise. :( someone from my work had sent this to me too and she can see it both ways - she's a graphic designer which kind of explains it. i shall furthermore despise all who can see it go both ways. except those that i love.

I can now see it both ways--go figure!

Based on the descriptions, I should be seeing this thing go counter-clockwise, but as Tim said, she's going "Clockwise. Nothing else. Not even remotely."

Oh my gosh. First of all, that is so weird. But before I go there, welcome to the world of blogging!! I've enjoyed reading and wasn't able to comment before. But now I have a google acct so we'll all good.

Anyway, when I look at it straight on, I can only see it clockwise. But when I read the text to the left, I see it counter-clockwise out of the corner of my eye. I was always right in the middle of those tests. Hmmmm.

Norm wants to know if what you are using is legal if you see it any way but clockwise, or are you just really tired?

Clockwise for Norm and Carol
