My nostrils are crooked!

Have you ever thought that people notice the weirdest things? I was thinking about facial symmetry the other day. Although you would think one side of the face should be a mirror image of the other, it's often not. Sometimes it's due to acquired life experiences- a scar here or there, for example. But a lot of the times, it's just the way a person's face is. I've seen pictures before where true mirror images of a person's side of the face is copied to the other and it is really interesting. Some people look way different, usually in terms of how their countenance appears.

This thought comes up every so often because I frequently think of a plastic surgery patient who came to follow-up and was very upset that her nostils were asymmetrical. Qu-est que c'est? Who thinks about that? Well, my sister for one. Ask her about what she thinks about Rosario Dawson's nostrils. Something vaguely bothered my sister while she was watching a movie featuring R.D. and at the end, thanks to an illuminating camera angle, my sis realized that it was RD's freakishly large nostrils.

Discuss amongst yourselves. Next up in vague Mike Myer's line references: "Head" in So I Married an Axe Murderer.
