Very cool.

In a similar vein to the rotating hypercube, thanks to Rinus Roelofs here are a couple more fantastic impossible animations.

I just learned about questdlg, a very cool little command in Matlab that I plan on making great use of.  HT: blinkdagger 

. . . if we use the following code, we can create a window that queries the user for their favorite color [or anything else]. Go ahead and copy and paste the following code into the Matlab command prompt.

%this example comes directly from the Matlab help
ButtonName = questdlg('What is your favorite color?', ...
                         'Color Question', ...
                         'Red', 'Green', 'Blue', 'Green');

Favorite Color
