Face

One of my former bosses in research - Adam - taught me several important concepts. For instance, once he told me: "If you look at people's faces, they are either a horse, a bird or a muffin." Now, wherever I look I see horses, birds or muffins.

During a dull moment in class the other day, I shared my face-knowledge with a couple of class-mates sitting next to me. They immediately started seeing horses, birds and muffins too. We concluded that we have two definite muffins in our class and a whole bunch of horses and birds.

The concept spread that night. "Michelle is a bird," someone proclaimed thoughtfully as we we were heading out of the building, "but not in a bad way."
