How Much Stress Can You Take?
Does your job stress you? Do your wife, kids, or family stress you? Does your code and scripts (which never work) stress you?
Well it happens to all of us. Everyone has their own individual level of how much stress, they can take, and how well (or, not so well) they handle stress and pressure.
To determine how much mental stress a person can handle, doctors use a stress test which is made up of these three pictures.
Note that these images are not moving at all.
You see, your brain is not able to focus on every aspect of the image, because it has too many corresponding sections, so it makes your eyes bounce back and forth trying to assimilate all of the visual data.
And it makes your brain subconsciously "frustrated". The more the image appears to be moving, the more you can not handle being under a lot of stress and pressure.
It should be noted too, that people like criminals, and those who have very stressful jobs see the above three images as moving extremely fast, and everything is spinning crazily. Hope that's not you. 
If so, it's time to take a vacation.
Warning:
Staring at the above three images for extended periods may give you a headache.
