<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BaseballGames, post: 1509213, member: 7826&quot;]Oh fer cryin&#039; out loud.&nbsp; We&#039;d suggest someone has an ulterior motive at play, but we&#039;ll give them the benfit of the doubt and consider they may be suffering from prosopagnosia.&nbsp; Please consult your physician.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; We don&#039;t care if the alleged Abe &amp; Mary imitators are wearing ballgowns, bowling shirts, clown suits, or space suits.&nbsp; It ain&#039;t Abe &amp; Mary, as is readily, blatantly apparent to almost everyone here, and if a moment&#039;s eyeballing of Lincoln&#039;s face and the innocent impostor&#039;s face isn&#039;t enough, maybe a quick class in Facial Recognition 101 will help.&nbsp; That&#039;s Lincoln in 1859 on the left, Lincoln in 1861 on the right.</p><p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49397792643_55f4d978fe_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>First thing when comparing images of faces to determine if they&#039;re the same person:&nbsp; look for differences, not similarities.&nbsp; Everybody has facial similarities to someone else.&nbsp; Differences are what tell you they&#039;re different people.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Actual Lincoln has thick, dark, arched eyebrows.&nbsp; Impostor Lincoln has thin or pale eyebrows.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Actual Lincoln has sharp cheekbones.&nbsp; Impostor Lincoln has flat cheekbones.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Actual Lincoln has a &quot;Roman&quot; nose, arching slightly outward.&nbsp; Impostor Lincoln has a slightly sloped &quot;ski&quot; nose.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Actual Lincoln has a sharply defined bit of meat -- the superior labial tubercle -- centered on his upper lip.&nbsp; Impostor Lincoln does not.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Actual Lincoln has a thick lower lip extending the width of his mouth.&nbsp; Impostor Lincoln does not.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Actual Lincoln has a diagnostic, prominent mole on his right nasolabial furrow (&quot;smile line&quot;).&nbsp; Impostor Lincoln does not.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Actual Lincoln&#039;s nasolabial furrows run close to his mouth angle furrows -- the corners of his mouth.&nbsp; Impostor Lincoln&#039;s nasolabial furrows run farther away from the corners of his mouth.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Actual Lincoln has a broad unmarked chin.&nbsp; Impostor Lincoln appears to have a dimple on his chin. </p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Pay attention now, because this last thing is definitive.&nbsp; Ears are diagnostic.&nbsp; They&#039;re like fingerprints.&nbsp; Even if every other feature matched perfectly, even if most other features maybe just kinda matched pretty well, if the ears don&#039;t match, you&#039;ve got different people. Ask your nearest FBI or Interpol facial recognition specialist.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Actual Lincoln has pendulous earlobes.&nbsp; Impostor Lincoln has short, tight-fitting earlobes.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Impostor Lincoln, him not Lincoln.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
