A riff on the classic café wall illusion (also known as the Münsterberg illusion or the kindergarten illusion) - a geometrical-optical illusion in which the parallel straight dividing lines between staggered rows with alternating dark and light rectangles (such as bricks or tiles) appear to be sloped, not parallel as they really are.

These lines are parallel.

It's a riff on the classic Café Wall Illusion, first described in 1894 by the splendidly-named Hugo Münsterberg: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caf%C3%...

He called it the "kindergarten illusion" - renamed in 1973 based on a café in Bristol.

WHY is it that classical musicians in orchestras get lauded as being the crème de la crème in the world of instrumentalists, when they all require sheet music to help them remember the tune? I saw Napalm Death a few weeks ago and they didn't have to look at a book once. They could remember all the songs just fine, and most of their ones are loads faster than any Beethoven or Mozart.
