Can someone tell me what you’re supposed to be seeing in this picture? I’ve been looking at it for a while now and I still don’t know what the point is.

Would you believe we have a rule for this? From [the FAQ:

> ]([http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=106617](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=106617))New rule - we’re tired of seeing that site with a picture that has a face jumping up with a scream. If you’re going to post a link to that site, or another site that is intended to startle/annoy by a sudden sound/image, check with a staff member first.
