1. Cool!

I wear glasses to correct for near sightedness. When I have them on, I see Einstein. Off, I see Monroe.

2. Is this a joke?

I see only Einstein, near or at distance, with or without my glasses.

4. Try squinting and holding it at a distance. Worked for me.

3. Wow.

I am suddenly aroused by Albert Einstein.

5. I'm farsighted, with astigmatism.

With my glasses, I see Einstein. Without them, I see a blur.

6. without my glasses, from 4 or 5 feet away...

What I see is definitely a different image than Einstein, probably female, possibly Marilyn. I don't know that it *is* Marilyn because, well, I'm nearsighted.
