It looks like everyone is giving up, so here's the answer: http://i38.tinypic.com/347fln8.jpg
That is actually what my best friend Allie Moore looks like on an oscilloscope! I connected my handheld computer to an oscilloscope and set it to display a picture of her. Note the parts where the voltage is the lowest. That is known as the sync voltage and it tells the display where a current line ends and a new one begins. Then it steps up a bit and an oscillation follows. That's the reference clock. Then the actual data begins. At first, the voltage remains about the same as it is representing the boring wall. When it gets to Allie, the voltage swings wildly in order to represent all those details. Since the hair is darker than the skin, it is represented by a lower average voltage.

To be slender like Tiffany Yep is to be a real hypermiler... Allie Moore and I have a combined carbon footprint much smaller than that of one average American...
