To see the picture you must view the spoon at a certain angle. I note that there are two pictures where you can see the face. Both are taken at the same angle. The third photo the face cannot be seen at all. There are no photos of the face close up.

I guess whoever buys it will be disappointed.

It looks like Jack Black to me. He recently hosted the Kids Choice Awards, and he's got a beard a lot like that now.

96 bids with over 40 different bidders and still holding at $760.

Makes you wonder if there are that many gullible people willing to pay or a bunch of folks playing an expensive game of hot potato.
