See if you can count the number of times the white players pass the ball.
It's a 7 meg download, but I think it's worth it.

So, uh, anyone notice anything out of the ordinary? Like a person in a gorilla suit walking across the screen?

I got a couple guys I work with to try this. Neither one noticed the gorilla until I pointed it out.
Apparently only something like 20% of the viewers who don't know a gorilla is going to appear SEE the gorilla.
Way to go Red!

This was a pretty interesting study that was done at Harvard University a few years ago concerning "inattentional blindness". On the bad side, we could wear fluorescent yellow and flashing neon lights and nobody would se us. On the other hand... maybe we can get away with robbing banks or public masturbation

I read Dans "sticky" after I posted my last comment. People wpnder why we use odd colored lights for our headlights, like yellow and blue, and they wonder why our pipes are so annoyingly loud. THIS IS WHY! Just something else that will hopefully get us noticed and not smashed into peices.
