The Ol' "3-D Pit Illusion" Painted On Sidewalk
DOOOOOOOOOOOO IT!
3-D illusion artist Erik Johansson (not to be confused with Edward Mueller or Julian Beever, who do the same thing) painted this illusion in Stockholm at Sergels torg.

No, really, thanks a lot guys, THANKS FOR RUINING MY VACATION. Reminds me of the video of me at the zoo as a kid. You know, the one with a giraffe in the background RUBBING HIS GIANT ALIEN WIENER AGAINST THE FENCE. "To completion?!" You're sick. (Yes to completion!)
Hit the jump for a video of the the thing and the 'Leap of Faith' scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade BECAUSE IT'S APPROPRIATE.
Thanks to Jordan, who once jumped a volcano on a dirt bike. Bitchin' brah.
