I'll be seeing that thing moving around in my sleep tonight, that is if it's a good night and I actually get a few hours of sleep.

Nah, nobody would do that, would they?

Actually, it's related to eye movement. Fixate on one object and they all stop moving. Look from one to another and they start 'moving' again. Sorry, it's a great illusion, but not a stress test...

Well it is moving slowly............So does that mean just a LITTLE bit stressed? Mike's right...........just looking at one, it all stops moving.
