2. Oh snap
The guy who did Deadwood should write Jeff a Lincoln screenplay. It could incorporate all of your images.

4. Many people look alot alike.
Edited on Thu Jun-18-09 11:12 PM by RandomThoughts
The difference in facial structure is actually not that far off for most people. The only reason we know they are different is there is a part of the brain that just does facial recognition.

If you look at a nose you can find 1000s just like it, or a check bone, or shape of head.

So its easy to find look-a-likes, but the mind knows the difference because of the part that can tell the very small differences that we do not consciously realize that we notice.


Edit: matter of fact, I think some comedians, can do great impressions because they get it accurate enough to actually fool that facial recognition part of the brain. That's why it looks so accurate.
