dear oh dearI 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!
