# Cool effect
I have a book all about optical illusions that has a picture with the same effect...except it's of Maggie Thatcher *shudder*.

I guess none of you lot have studied undergraduate psychology of perception recently.

The original article is by Peter Thompson, "Margaret Thatcher: a new illusion."
Perception 9:483–484 (1980).

Search google for "thatcher illusion" and you can see various demonstrations...

but still, woo!
