This is really interesting. What more am I missing out from the "real" world?. If there wasn't an "authority" telling me that this face is concave I'll call anyone telling otherwise crazy.

In the book a boa constrictor swallows an elephant. The silhouette of the boa then becomes an elephant curve. That doesn't actually happens in the book. The image is just creative drawing by the narrator but most people thinks of it as a
