    Pretty amazing, I saw it right away. It struck me earlier also, when looking at sketches being quite graphical, still no problem to see who it is.
    I wonder when computers kan recognize as easily, if we should believe “24″ we already can. On a consumer level swedes are developing technology for that, like a Google for images.
