His hed is asymmetrical yay

[dreamer_easy]

New Scientist is always full of fascination. Just one issue (23 July) is chocka with stuff which I'd like to rave about - trypanosomes' lazy use of a single promoter for hundreds of genes, a possible cure for IBD using nerve stimulation, that Austrian cardinal (and pal of the Pope) who rejected evolution, yet another study showing that the antidepressants keeping me alive don't actually do anything (but also proof that chronic fatigue syndrome isn't imaginary, news which will not stun any of its many sufferers), etc.

Let me instead talk about the Doctor's head.

Firstly, Christopher Eccleston's remarkable noggin, which would be an ideal candidate for ear shape recognition, as described in that overstuffed issue of NS.

Secondly, the characteristic which David Tennant's incoming bonce shares with Paul McGann's ovary-exploding visage: their faces are both asymmetrical. Have a look at the cover of DWM 359: Tennant's eyes don't quite line up. Now, NS is always running articles about some study or other which shows that symmetrical faces are the most attractive. But what if slight asymmetry adds the spice of interest? Or is finding both gentlemen gorgeous merely another sign of my fathomless perversion?

I have a t-shirt that reads "I've shagged Celation". I was never brave enough to wear it to a convention.
