| Unintuitive observation of the day - your head always appears the same size relative to the surface of a flat mirror. Perform this experiment - look at yourself in a fixed-position mirror. Put your fingers on the mirror marking the top and bottom location of your head. Now, keeping your fingers there, go really close to the mirror - your head will still be demarked by your fingers. Now go far away. Your fingers will come off the mirror, you idiot, go back and start again, but this time get someone else to replace your fingers with theirs, using surgery, so you can leave yours on the mirror. Or if you don't have a friend to exchange fingers with, put toothpaste on the mirror or something. Conclusive proof - your head is really about five inches tall. [09:07] |

| In the case of men like... Say... Jay Leno, would the measurement include chin size? Because your five inch estimate would be thrown off by his rather "chin-tacular" chin size. |

| Actually, it does go a bit wrong at short distances if your face isn't very flat. It relies on your chin and forehead being approximately equidistant from the mirror with your eyes. So Jay Leno probably has a flexible head size. |

| Haha<\/A>/, score for me. Poor Mr. Leno, his chin has been mocked once again... |

| You failed to mention if it works equally well if ones head is hairless and in the presence of a pink sink... |

| Oh bloody... It seems not only has Raven forgotten such an integral part of his post, but I seem to have triggered a stupidity indicator. Which wouldn't bother me if it were an intentional triggering... |
| Anet |
| Not to worry. He dislikes shorcuts, unless his own... Refrain from using, omg<\/A>/, lol<\/A>/, haha<\/A>/, lmao and I will continue to appear at least 4x more stupid than yourself. |

| Sorry. Only 3 times. He missed one. Raven, please assist. Thank you. |

| Oh yes, Raven, you missed one! The realm of "Blog-atory" existence may be warped into a forum if you do not act quickly! |
