Face detection...

[watervole]

I'm having great fun with the camera Kelvin gave me for my birthday yesterday.  It's exactly the right kind of camera for me - idiot proof and easy to use.

I'm checking out some of the features and find to my amusement that 'intelligent face detection' only works on people without beards.  I thought at first I was using it wrong as neither of my test subjects (Richard and Henry) were picked out by the software, but when the camera was pointed at me, it worked just fine!

The trick is to think of lots of related words like beard, hair, brush, comb, chin, shave, bristle, razor, etc. and then think of how many of those have a secondary meaning or can be used in a different context. (also look out for phrases or quotes that use those words)

Eg. the word sharp (or Sharpe...) has yet to be used. As a follow on to something about razors, it could work. Or razor could be followed by 'raze' or raise.

Pun fests are a very English game. Fish puns seem to be the most catching, but others arise spontaneously on occasion.
