In case you can’t see the image above (for some reason it seems to sometimes show up for me, sometimes not…), here’s the image John came up with:
Compare:
Close enough! 🙂
(UPDATE: As noted in the comments, let me emphasize that Jon and I are not making fun of Ben here! Indeed, just the opposite–we’re big fans of Ben’s work (and Ben’s a friend of mine) The whole #wwbbd meme is just a joking way of expressing our admiration.)
Just a point of clarification:Ben is a super awesome scientist and an extremely helpful guy, so no disrespect!
(But he does look a lot like Charlton Heston ;))
Thanks, but hopefully no clarification needed. I think Ben knows this silliness is an expression of how much we all like and admire him and his work. 🙂
