How'd you come to that conclusion? I'm guessing you just a RGB color picker comparison type deal to find out right?
Edit: Never mind. I got it, I just opened PSP7 and used the color picker and rolled over each tile. Each of the 3 RGB numbers are 107 for both tiles.

If you like Optical Illusions then here is a site with a few of them. Yes, click here.

Oh, don't even get me started on the popups. I wasn't even talking about the popups.

Man, I see all kinds of stuff when I hold real still.

But seriously, seeing a waving motion when you are stationary is a sign that you are dehydrated. Not dangerously dehydrated, but dehydrated none the less.

I'm going to use that big word one more time. Caffeine, nicotine, other stimulants and antihistamines will all cause you to become dehydrated.

I like that big word! I think I'll name my next battlecruiser class "Dehydrated"... or maybe "Dehydrator"...
