I was wondering if anybody else sees this weird optical illusion when they look at LEDs and vibrate their head (like if you eat something or brush your teeth). When I do this the red LED bars seem to jumble around a bit.

It's really weird.

Yep. I first noticed it when I was brushing my teeth with an electric toothbrush while looking at a digital clock.

That doesn't mean you don't need to lay off the drugs though.

If you think the waiters are rude, you should see the manager.

Yeah, I always figured it had to do with the refresh rate or something. It's interesting to me how it only seems to happen with SOME digital clocks, not all.
