Call me paranoid, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s noticed the uncanny resemblance between the recent photos of Enemy of the State/Champion of the People (depending on your point of view), Edward Snowden, and the Times Higher Editor at Large/Rankings Editor (depending on your point of view), Phil Baty.
Was it just that they wanted to save costs by sharing a photo shoot? Did they both get the same PR advisor telling them to look serious, quizzical and suspicious at the camera? Did they both, for whatever reason, happen to end up in the transit area of Moscow Airport at the same time? Or are they, in fact, one and the same person?
We, the people, have a right to know. We should be told. I’m off to picket the American Embassy, on the basis that they must have had a hand in all of this.
Who’s with me? Anyone..? You, at the back..?

No resemblance other than the both wear glasses and clearly work
in a stats/IT envornment! Is it time for the pub yet? 😉
Very true. The differences are innumerable. Snowden's got his mouth open slightly for a start. Not sure *what* I was thinking.
