THANK YOU, Jesse. It was making me nuts! And I just went and Google imaged the person in question, and, yeah, that has to be a very, very old picture.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Man, I keep remembering People I didn't get: Stewart and Keanu.
So sad.
But I did get Rice and Oprah.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I felt stupid for not getting Princess Diana, but I also did not know Tony Blair and don't think I've ever seen a picture of him before. I missed one other person, but I forget who.

I don't believe I've ever seen a picture of Tony Blair when he wasn't smiling.
Same could be said of several of the people.

In any event, I hope the day gets better.
Well, rather than dumping gasoline on my desk and screaming "BURN, BABY, BURN!" I took a deep breath and asked coworkers for input.
Man, sometimes being an adult is no fun.

I need more sock layers! I have four shirt, sweater, sweatshirt layers. Maybe I should put on a hat? (Note, this is for inside my house and I have the heat up to a reasonable level.)

I am not sure why this hit my funny bone, but it sure did.
The last panel made me laugh out loud. I would find it hilarious to actually hear that, but I think my pilot would probably get fired for it. Or at least suspended. Heavily.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It was not a good picture of Tony Blair.
I feel like I did much better than I should have.
On the other hand, there were a number of people who I recognized by their mouths alone (before scrolling up to see the whole face)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I avoid the news, but if you haven't ever seen a picture of Tony Blair that's way more insulation than I could ever manage. It took me a while to remember his name, because I worked my way to job and nationality first.
A face completely out of context is hard to recognize - hair being context, apparently
Not if you're neurotypical, is the assertion. Though, as noted, 85% is the mean.
I still feel like I'm crap at that, but no one looked less like them to me because they were missing hair and ears. I'd have taken just as long to come up with the right name if they'd been coiffed traditionally.
My sister is in the 120% range, if it were possible. She's the one who remembered she'd seen Wesley Snipes in a Michael Jackson video before he became famous. I don't file random faces like that unless they're *way* more striking and appear a couple places first.
