Concentrate on the center dot and move your head toward and away from the monitor.

Supposedly A is the same color as B (well, the squares), can someone get Photoshop or something and edit this and post a pic to verify this?

It's true, it has to do with the shadow cast by the green cylinder.

I know it's true, but can you post the image of the two things side by side? By the way the video I linked you guys to is AWESOME!

In case you're interested, they're by Gustav Verbeek whose works appeared at the turn of the 19th Century. He actually wrote a 12 panel story in 6 panels! You had to flip it upside down, so panel 6 became panel 7 rotated 180. He wrote 60 of these. They were called:
"The Upside-downs of little Lady Lovekins and Old Man Muffaroo".

It is. You can either print it out (still works in b&w) or just put a bit of paper up on your monitor, trace the two offending squares and cut them out. It's pretty amazing, even if you know they're the same they look different til they're side by side. It's to do with the fact the squares around each are different shades of darkness and there's a pattern of light/dark there. It fools your brain into thinking one square has to be darker than the other.
BTW I thought there was a animated gif showing the two being cut out and aligned together on ebaumsword.

It's a mexican in a boat hitting a whale that's next to a small island with two trees growing on it.

I think it's meant to look 3-D. Try downloading it then looking at it. It'll be in the middle of the screen so you look straight at it. It does look kinda 3-D when you do that. the wobbling damn annoying though.
