Museum of Oddities and Blunders

[Bounder]

Hello everyone â€"

Here we're starting an archive of weirdnesses and impossibilities encountered on the road to Nye Kingdom.  Stuff that makes you want to reach back in time and shake some sense into the interviewer (any of the lot) â€" or interviewee.

The first thing I absolutely cannot believe is the hullaballoo triggered by a "demon" allegedly situated between Al Gore and Bill Bradley.  As you'll recall, this kept rising to the surface of Art's 1999 Ghost to Ghost show (the Gore-Bradley debate had concluded only a few days prior).  Here's a picture of the "unexplained" devil mask in situ:



Now.  I mean this without hostility or antagonism:  Is it really possible not to see how the deathskull came about?  (By mirrored, co-joined stars on the "American flag" backdrop).  Even cropped to show only the lower half of the shot â€" perfect symmetry, perfect five-pointed stars.  Right?  Was anyone else baffled at the attention, energy and credence given to this incautious graphic?

There have been other Are you serious? incidents but I'll limit mine to one per post.  I do not mean to vilify or condemn â€" I find such events completely fascinating and rather cautionary.

Truly a heartbreaker.

Here's a simple breakdown of the Gore-Bradley illusion.

Phew, thanks for that.

I thought that was Hillary.

What, nobody sees the head of a grey alien with his eyes just below the worlds "Election 2000"?
You can even see the little openings of his nose just below the big almond shaped eyes! BOOGA BOOGA!
