Mirror Reflection Question

Belly · 16 Sep 2006 at 18:30

Everyone knows that when you look in the mirror and close your left eye your reflection shows you that your right eye is closed but when you scratch your chin with your left hand the reflection does not show you scratching the top of your head with your right hand? Why is that?

How old are you?

How come when you look in the back of a spoon your reflection is normal but when you look in the front you're flipped?

How come dentists always try to have a conversation with you when they've got 17 different tools in your mouth!?

Because your eyes are on either side of your face.

How often have you looked through your chin?

Hey I haven't got a spoon here at the moment but have a quick at your reflection and then scratch your chin with your left hand and tell me what you see?

a mirror doesn't show your right eye closed.. it shows your left eye closed in reverse... like it shows your hand on your chin in reverse if you tilt it (if that's what you mean based on other posts here...)

also I would imagine the spoon because it's concave.. so the lightwaves are coming from the opposite side...

Bit like when individuals open their mouths to speak, the words come out of their arses. Mysteries of the universe.

Bang, Bang = Clap, Clap

Have you tried peeing against a mirror by chance? Now if you hold your member in your right hand and.....................

I tried this.

When I close my left eye, my mirror image closes his right eye.

When I scratch my chin with my left arm, my mirror scratches with his right arm.

I must be in the minority.
