hey, no fair, I claim seeing this first. everyone i know, including myself, sees it clockwise.

Same here clockwise....

I also see it rotate clockwise.  There was one time when I looked away and back again when I saw it rotate counter-clockwise for about 6 rotations but then it switched back to clockwise.  Now it's all clockwise all of the time.

My wife on the other hand sees it move counter clockwise and can't imagine it any other way.  It was fun having 2 people looking a the same thing and dissagreeing about something so seemingly simple.  Ah perception of reality, does anyone really get it right>

On a semi-related note and via my bro Chris, check out this crazy optical illusion:

Wowow. That's crazy. I used my Firefox color picker to check the hex values to confirm they were the same. Is that geeky?

Very Interesting.   At first I saw it counter-clockwise and then clockwise.  If I focus I can have it switch directions. 

This is very interesting. I would go with clockwise.

The optical illusion theory. Hmmm......I'm gonna have to experiment on this one at home to see if I can find the same results.

That was bizarre.  I saw it clockwise and couldn't adjust by refocusing until I scrolled the page and it pause and then I saw it counter-clockwise.  Scrolled again, and back to clockwise.
