Stereotypes are oddly addictive. Don't miss the earlier editions.

Those were neat. And, yes, addictive. I was impressed with how well the upper and lower faces matched up for the different pictures.

I have just discovered that people are more pleasant to look at while they're smiling.

I was impressed with how well the upper and lower faces matched up for the different pictures. Well, it's not just like switching tiles, he put a lot of work into each set matching faces and skin colors etc. Highly entertaining.

this is very good, thank you. I realised that some combinations looked stranger than others. Children and adults don't mix well - and you have to match head size very carefully. Of all in the colour set, the beauty queen's head matches the least well onto the others, but I think that had to do with head size and perhaps position. For example, the police officer's uniform looked right with everyone, except the beauty queen (there was a strange twist to the jaw). There were strange gender moments as well - sometimes a woman's face mixed with a man's chest created an androgynous or a feminine in style but still male figure, but sometimes it just made a strange improbable image. Perhaps it depends on how female the face looks. But it's interesting that a face can be decidedly female.

I'm a nerd on top and badly dressed on bottom. (this is awesome)

I can't stop clicking. What was really interesting to me was the shifts in my perception of gender.

This is fun! My son said, "I want President Bush in here." I have to admit the idea is appealing. I'd put him together with, maybe, Paula Abdul?
