Well, that is very nice, but he is not in a room, he is on the Internet, so he is just Albert Einstein. (“Just” Albert Einstein??)

What’s wierd is that if you look at it from the right (or rather, very, very wrong) distance, it sort of looks a bit like Margaret Thatcher.

Anyway, there are ots of examples of this sort of thing over the years. My favourite is Salvador Dali’s snappily titled “Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at Twenty Meters becomes a Portrait of Abraham Lincoln”
