Sine wave speech
I just found this (via Mind Hacks). Apparently you only understand the garbled version after listening to the non-garbled version, but I didn't have any problem understanding the garbled version straight-off. I don't think I have magical ears, so I'm keen to find out if the same applies to you!
I didn't get the picture version, though.
UPDATE: I just browsed the linked paper, and apparently knowing that what you're hearing is supposed to be speech can be enough to work out what is being said. So the Mind Hacks site is a little misleading.
UPDATE 2: I downloaded the software and made my own recording.
