That last post just reminded me of a really good science fiction short story on the subject of pictures that cause pain... BLIT by David Langford.
The editors of Nature were evidently so impressed by the concepts in BLIT that they allowed David Langford to publish a related bit of fiction (comp.basilisk.faq) in Nature itself.
Well worth a read on a slow work day.
