Excellent little novelty plugin to add some fun effects to your website, has lots of settings and customisations like speed, type of images, and how many you want on the page.

great plugin, but give fatal error in network mode
Well, plugin actually work on multisite frontend, but whether you go to wp-admin/network/plugins.php or wp-admin/network/update-core.php - it gives you fatal error.So, until this plugin is activated I cant add/remove/update any of sites plugins.
