Above: one is Shadow Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and one is the insane captain of a spaceship full of corpses. Which man would you give your last rolo to?
Like Himmler glasses and so-called Great Depression Chic, Physiognomy is enjoying a resurgence. In February, New Scientist pointed out that Canadian ice hockey players with wide faces were more violent than Canadian ice hockey players with gaunt countenances
Can you really judge a book by its a cover? Let's find out!!
Tell me whether each person below is Liberal or Labor

* As you may know, Darwin nearly didn't get a passage on the Beagle because according to physiognomy, his nose made him look lethargic. But in the end, his brow made up for this shortfall

Ohh, what a cracker of a challenge, Squib.
the insane captain of a spaceship full of corpses
I've never read a better analysis of Tony Abbott and the federal Liberal Party.
Thanks
There are 5 from each party by the way
OK, so no Nats or Greens?
No
I hope you're not cheating
He'll be cheating for sure!
A, B, E H and J - Liberal?
Don't know why and I don't have time to plough through their respective websites and compare photos to all the members.
And I'm tired after a death defying Coral Sea crossing last week.
I have no idea who any of them are, so I'm just going to guess:
Liberal
Labor
Liberal
Labor
Labor
Liberal
Labor
Liberal
Labor
Liberal
A - Labor,
B - Liberal,
C - Labor,
D - Labor,
E - Liberal,
F - Labor,
G - Liberal,
H - Labor,
I - Liberal,
J - Liberal.
I swear I did this without looking at Ramon's BUT I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME ANSWERS AS HIM.
So, lab, lib, lab, lab, lib, lab, lib, lab, lib, lib.
If I was marking you all, you'd be Cs and Ds at this stage
Yes, but who's closest?
Wari, Ramon, and Melba are the highest so far
Puss is last
Haha! Ok, my new answer is:
Labor
Liberal
Labor
Liberal
Liberal
Labor
Liberal
Labor
Liberal
Labor
Okay - will say A, D, E, F & J for Labour
I don't think you should be allowed to give more than one answer.
This is a high stakes game after all.
Sorry Puss.
Suffer in your jocks, Puss.
I request Julia Gillard as my custom badge of choice.
You haven't won yet Ramon!
And you still owe me a roast dinner from your ALP Constitution quote competition.
I never forget a roast dinner debt.
Anytime you're in the People's Republic of Preston, Wari.
Puss, you're now neck and neck with Wari, Ramon, and Melba
MCL, sorry, you're coming very very last
A. Labor
B. Liberal
C. Liberal
D. Labor
E. Labor
F. Liberal
G. Liberal
H. Labor
I. Liberal
J. Labor
EMS, a good try! You are neck and neck with MCL
You have until 8PM EST today or Wari wins
Last! crivens
okay all the ones I picked before except liberal this time
i don't actually know who any of them are - for shame
I generally just pick the most amusing party name when voting.
I like this game. It's fun. How many goes do you get? Just in case we're allowed more than one (and sorry to disagree Wari, but I think you should be able to guess more than once - unless my second stab here puts me in a worse position than before, in which case, I'd like my first guess to be reinstated if it's closer to being correct until such time as I make a third guess, and so on and so forth), here's my next guess:
A. Labor
B. Liberal
C. Labor
D. Liberal
E. Liberal
F. Labor
G. Labor
H. Liberal
I. Labor
J. Liberal
And (do excuse me for this minor niggle, MCL, but all's fair in love and war and guessing games) but I reckon I should be beating MCL by a smidgen 'cause MCL misspelled Labor.
MCL 8/10
EMS 6/10 As many times as you like (your first try was 2/10)
I'm going wrong on G, aren't I. she looks like a bulldog. i was very unsure about her from the start.
I like to think it's the labor party who have misspelt it. Isn't labour the english spelling? aren't we supposed to use english spelling? Aren't we their colony?
Then I shall lock in my most recent guess, Eddie. I mean Squib. LOCK IT IN!
MCL: Dude, I dunno. I just thought it might score me some easy points.
aren't we supposed to use english spelling?
Oh wait. Hold your horses. I know the answer to that. We're supposed to use Standard Australian English, which I'm reckoning (without having researched it or anything) would have us spell Labor as in the political party as Labor and labour as in hard labour as labour. I'm assuming they be different in Standard Australian English.
Others here must surely be more knowledgeable about this than I am though and can probably fill us in on the correct answer.
A. Lib
B. Lab
C. Lab
D. Lib
E. Lib
F. Lab
G. Lab
H. Lab
I. Lib
J. Lib
MCL you're the winner AGAIN!! Do I send to the same address as last time? And what badge do you want?
I was so sure (B) was a Liberal. I might not have won, but I reckon going from 2/10 to 6/10 is pretty freaking good.
I did have a special formula for working out my answers. I tried to figure out which ones looked more Tasmanian/"special" and just assumed they were the Liberals of the bunch.
Not exactly scientific, but the results weren't too bad considering.
They all look like Mormons to me.
I'm not playing any more.
If you were only allowed one guess I would have won. But that's the 8 year old in me speaking, the humanitarian (?) in me knows that MCL needs all the loot she can get to feed all those frigging cats.
Welcome back Perseus. I trust all's well in mythology land? And Lorne of course.
Damn. I was working on the theory that the ones with the green background were all from the same party. Oh well.
i am quite happy for it to go to first guesses, since that means you would need to come up with a tiebreaker for Ramon and Wasi.
mwahahahahaahahahahahaha
I demand a recount!
Ramon and I should get a Julia Gillard badge each.
And I missed this!
Wari and Ramon, if you really really want a Julia badge, I can make you one. Just email me your address
MCL,let me know if you want Glenn in your badge or wot. I'm at the same email as before... unless you don't want the prize in which case I will be mortally offended
Thanks Squib, you're an ace chick.
I'll put it next to Pers' tea-towel.
Address on its way.
Absolutely I want one squib. Is your email on your profile?
lol
same address :)
i was thinking maybe i should get Bob Katter or something
He's always quite amusing
Wari, it's:
meredio [at] poetsquib [dot] com
MCL, Katter it is then...are you SURE? Also, if your hair is still short I can turn the fabric hair buttons into brooches or magnets instead (the fabric is much nicer this time)
ooo ooo ooo - brooches would be awesome - somebody at the place i am temping has assumed that since i have so many cats that i would like cat brooches and has gifted me with about eight of them. I plan to put them all on the one jacket and I need some others to balance them out :)
Did I not come equal first? Just because I went quiet does not mean I relinquish my rights.
But I just want acknowledgement. I don't want a badge. Unless they are really, really good.
And glad to see wari that you weren't on a certain plane in PNG.
D. I didn't know Tim Curry had gone into Australian politics?
Still sketchy even from here Melba. There's talk of 8 Australians being on board. I have friends who are pilots for Airlines PNG. The plane is still regarded as "missing".
Sorry, it's 9 Australians. And there's still hope they successfully landed somewhere else. APNG are not answering their phones.
Melba you can have a badge too!!
But you will have to tell me who you want in it and where it should be sent. They are subtle little 1" badges
Thanks squib. In that case, I would like a badge. Can I have anyone on it? Anyone at all?
Was there mention of a Charles Darwin badge? Then I could put it with the book I got from Bob. I will then have to win a Darwin tea towel and also win myself a roast chicken dinner from Ramon. Who surprisingly will answer the door, and look like Charles Darwin.
Then my world will be complete.
I do indeed look a little like Charles Darwin, Melba.
A younger Charles Darwin.
Without the beard.
Melba, yes, anyone you like
Thanks squib. Well, can I have Charles then please. I've emailed you my address.
Speaking of addresses I emailed Perseus my address and have not yet received the promised package.
And Ramon. I imagine you with a beard no matter what. It's not just your avatar, it's the fact you had one fairly recently so I have a stubborn picture of you in my head. Or it's stubbornly fixed in my head.
Melba, I'm yet to receive my roast dinner from Ramon. He stubbornly insists I come to Preston and collect it!
Squib is being nice and sending just about everyone in the world a badge. Her postage bill will be huge.
In PNG news, because I know you care, they've found the plane wreckage but there's very little chance anyone survived. And Emma just got home with a note from the school saying they have it on good authority that we'll have riots tomorrow and we should use our own discretion as to whether to send our kids to school.
I think I win the prize for commenting today.
I sent Persey a book 5 months ago. I never heard if it arrived... maybe there were bushrangers outside Lorne
Yes Wari, everyone was a winner (except Puss and EMS)
Suffer in your jocks, EMS.
They cancel school if it rains overnight here. The Philippines has two seasons - Dry Season and Rainy Season. The school holidays are in the Dry season.
Suffer in your jocks, EMS.
I don't have jocks Ramon, you oughta know that. Don't be mean. Be a playa not a h8er.
I'm ready for the next round. Oh yes.
If there are five of each, then if I guess 'they're all Labour' then I'll get at least 50%!
so
Labour
Labour
Labour
Labour
Labour
Labour
Labour
Labour
Labour
Labour (possibly New Labour?)
Yes Wari, everyone was a winner (except Puss and EMS)
I never win anything. And here is where I would use a sad smiley face if I resorted to emoticons.
