The two sides of Dick Cheney

[nuxvomica]

I posted these pictures a long time ago in DU 1.0 and was reminded of them by another post so i thought I'd post them again. When I can bear to look at Dick Cheney's mug, I've wondered about it's infamous crookedness and how that might relate to his inner torment. It's my understanding that the left side of the face is indicative of the right side of the brain while the right side is ruled by the left brain.

I took this picture and divided it in halves:



I then doubled up the left halves and wound up with this avuncular gentlemen, who reminds me a little of legendary comedian Ray Goulding:


I doubled up the right ones and got this frightening character reminiscent of Montgomery Burns:


What might this tell us?

1. Evil, evil, evil.

That last picture is sheer evil. Fascinating though, what you did.

2. Here's something to think about:

From a Wikipedia article on brain lateralization. The emphasis is mine:

Hines (1987) states that the research on brain lateralization is valid as a research programme, though it has been applied to promote subjects and products far out of the implications of the research. For example, the implications of the research have no bearing on psychological interventions such as EMDR, brain training equipment, or management training. One explanation for being so prone to exaggeration and false application is that the left-right brain dichotomy is an easy-to-understand notion, yet is often grossly oversimplified and misused for promotion in the guise of science. This is often known as right-brain mythology, and is associated with occult notions such as yin/yang, righteous and sinister, and day and night. The research on lateralization of brain functioning is ongoing, and its implications are always tightly delineated, whereas the pseudoscientific applications are exaggerated, and applied to an extremely wide range of situations.

Nonetheless, I think the last picture looks evil too.
