Muggum is a .99 iPhone app that generates two symmetrical side-by-side portraits -- one from the left side of the face, and one from the right. Here's both sides of ol' whatshisface.

Make ran an article that shows how to do this on a PC.

    the sad thing is that both of these look better than the real person.

    So, Gaddafi is a cross between Nicholas Kristof and Tony Curtis.

    (Also, this must have been based on an old picture of Gaddafi. In recent years, I haven’t seen Gaddafi without his Comic Book Guy facial hair.)

    @dark victoria – facial symmetry is closely correlated with ratings of beauty, so it’s not surprising that you think both photos look better than the original. Judging by the two photos, that’s one asymmetric dude.

    I’m sorry… but what was the point of this post in the first place?

    • Chrs

      Judging by the demeanor of the photos, that the stern left side is currently winning in his “governing” style.

        Colonel, President, leader of teh whatever, needs to go away.

    Darth Maul, or Darth Mel? (Mel Brooks as Darth Maul)

    This practically begs for Spaceballs: the Prequel.

    Whatever, yes yes it is a thing.

    But for the love of God, why did it have to be this post that sits at the top of BoingBoing for so long? If ever there was a need for a unicorn chaser, now would be the time.

    At least goatse never strafed anyone with helicopter gunships.
