Am I the only one thinking, "Who the hell cares?" You'd think they'd discovered the fountain of youth or something.


Thank god I'm not the only one! thank you!

I think andy Dick should play him. He's got a big nose too.

I posted a clip from TED about something similar a while ago.
The similarities in the face are stunning and make the accuracy of this discovery even more real.

I don't see how a 9 page study from 1974 (with only the first page visible) talking about people selecting between rectangles has more authority than Leonardo Da Vinci's famous discovery of the proportions correlating to the human body. You just researched it half arsed and tried to find a quote real quick that supported your gross association to Nazism and pseudoscience. I hope this gets popular just so more people can see how horribly ridiculous your arguments are in calling proportional symmetry a concept similar nazi aerian superiority. You can't reply and you run away only because you didn't bother to see how ridiculous and irrelevant the article you were citing was. I'm honestly disgusted and even more disgusted you'd try to correlate this to a debate between a religious fundamentalist and a logical person. You're shameless and unwilling to admit it was a hyperbolic claim you made ignorantly thinking the golden ratio was some kind of hollywood hype rather than a real mathematical ratio. Sick. Just. Sick.

Mathematical proportions and symmetry relating to beauty is not BS or nazism. I hope the way you cited that article without reading it will haunt you at night.
