You could do that Loser, but you would lose any sort of image in the process. Assuming it's not Atrocities playing a joke on us, then it is just an optical illusion and not a real reflection. Doing all that manipulation to the image will eliminate the random bits and color variances that our minds are connecting together to make a recognizable pattern. Like when the "Mars Face" viewed from another angle becomes just another mountain.

That's a "Rorschach’s inkblot" as far as I can tell; it has whatever meaning you put in it. As you can see in the right eye (left in this image) you are taking a photograph of a cat looking at a window. That eye reflects what seems to be a pattern of shadows in or just outside your room. That same pattern continues across both eyes, which is why you see the inkblot in the darker left eye. Probably a tree, they tend to produce those kinds of shadows.

However, can you see the raw demonic world-destroying god-slaying power in my avatar photo?
[edit:] Ooops, no avatar photo here yet.

Hmm... It looks more like a cartoonish face than a real one. Notice the "nose" and "mouth". I'd say it's an illusion - although a mighty cool one.

So Atrocities, did you change your wallpaper after this?

The image in question has been intensely studied by the crack team of experts here at work. And we can report conclusively that it is a distorted image of an evil Ronald McDonald(TM) who has for some reason, changed his hair color to an unsightly grayish blue-green.

Your cat's compliance, in whatever nefarious schemes RM and the McD corp. are planning cannot be determined conclusively from her pose.

However, she had better keep those ears primed, and a tight grip on all nine of her lives, because the Office of Homeland Conformity ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Security will be watching.

Her hair appears short, but she's not a Persian cat, or is she?

No I think PCP cat, Momma, is of the Barn yard variety and believe me you, she is one moody little woman.

And that does look like a face with two distict eyes, a hair line, and hair. Very spooky.

I think it's nothing more than a reflection.
