Hollow-Face illusion

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm immensely intrigued by it. It's a video clip of a Charlie Chaplin mask spinning around in a circle, and because our brain likes to form faces out of everything, even though our eyes tell us its hollow, our brain tells us it's a face, simply because our brain wants to see a face. Have a look, it's quite freaky.

That's pretty sweet. I'd like to see a higher res version.

Yes. Not for the 85% of it which is useless video-myspace-like garbage, but for the remainder, which is educational, yes, I'd like more than youtube delivers.

No, I'd file that under "educational."
