Please could you let me know which optical instruments would correct his facial defect and is it possible to use household reflective instruments to solve this problem?

Crisp packet ? (a.k.a. aluminised mylar film).

It has been scientifically proven that the only way to make A L-W's face appear vaguely human is by the stragegic placement of a brown paper bag over the aforementioned gentleman's noggin. To further improve his visage, an upturned bucket over the bag is advised.
Well, I actually didn't know what he looks like, so I googled him on google images, and sadly enough I think the docter is right.

I'm sure optical instruments would help. Has no one got the answer to my question? My kids would love to know.
Back-of-a-spoon-distortion is called "barrel distortion",
The opposite of barrel distortion is "pincushion distortion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_distortion)".
Using a camera lens which suffers from “pincushion distortion” could flatter A L-W (and David Gest).

A 42 ton truck would do a better job!

It makes him look a bit like Ant (or Dec).
That Phantom picture reminds me of the time I went to see Juliet and Romeo, by William Shakespear. When she said "Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou?", I shouted "behind you"...how was I supposed to know it wasn't a panto?

What do you think "wherefore" means?
It means "for what purpose or reason". So really, it means "why".
A lot of people think that it's "where is", but it's not.

I wonder what is the average age of the contributors to this thread? (Ignoring my contributions, of course.) Let's have some Princess Di jokes to round it all off in a really mature fashion..

To me that looks like a pretty clear distinction.
