How do you see the watchful busts?

[Moonliner]

Interesting article (http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/04/schizoillusion/) I ran across today.


Apparently if you see the Haunted Mansion's Watchful Bust (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Haunted_Mansion_characters#Watchful_Busts) s as concave you are either schizophrenic, drunk or stoned.

They did not look convex to me until I became a Disney fan and understood what I was supposed to be seeing. Judge away.

[Kevy Baby]

I always thought they were real people

I see them as flipping between convex and concave, though usually more on the concave side.

I thought this was going to be about boobs

The watchful busts: "Breasts! With eyes!"

Well, the tall one is rather phallic so to make the other one about boobs would certainly balance things out.

Same here

It was the spiderwebs that did it for me. Up until that point, I didn't see the concavity so much.

Interestingly, while "the watchful busts" seems to be an accepted enough term to be used in Wikipedia, there are only five uses of the term in the entire Internet.

As an aside, I think "How do you see the watchful busts?" should be the first line of some poem one is forced to read in high school.
