Not much eh?
Press ctrl A ;)

I found this when getting the new winamp jamming tool from Geeks on the Run.
The principal is simple and in a way, you could do subliminal messages like this...

That is amazingly cool. I can imagine a few interesting things for which that could be utilized.

Wow, that is very, very cool! Can you tell us how to do it from scrath, so we can do it ourselves?

First off you need 2 pictures that are quite similar but desimilar enough so that one can mask the other. I don't have two pics like that so my example wont be as effective as the one I found.

Just create a crosspatch, overlay it to the two images, then get rid of the crosspatch. Then place the newly 'checkered' pictures atop each other so that one pictures blanks fill the others. If you have too much un filled space, pic one of the original pictures and underlay it to fill those spaces.
In the short time, I created this -

Now, whne you high light it, kirby should dissapear. You can see where i underlayed the mario image improperly. This was just a rush job :D

The method is in one big PNG (1.12mb) here (http://gaming-honor.com/obi/misc/crosspatch.png) so you might want to right click save as if you want to view it.

EDIt - I should have just crosspatched the kirby picture then dumped it onto the mario one, would ahve been easier lol
