Whenever I look at myself in one of those multiple mirrors they have at 
clothing stores, the shape of my head appears different than in a regular 
mirror from the side.  I'm wondering if it has anything to do with seeing a 
reflection of a reflection or with the angle at which the light hits my eyes.
