Alice in wonderland syndrome (AIWS/AWS), also called Todd syndrome is a neurological and harmless syndrome where someone’s surroundings are distorted and people and/or objects might be hallucinated smaller (micropsia), bigger (macropsia), further away (teleopsia) or closer (pelopsia). These episodes usually last 10-20 minutes and can be triggered by migraines, nervousness, specific lighting and fevers. Side symptoms during an episode (can) include dizzyness, sensory hallucinations, body dysmorphia in limbs, difficulty to focus and relax your eyes and losing sense of time. Alice in wonderland is not easily diagnosed due to the fact many cases happen to be in children, who are usually too afraid to tell a parent/adult or aren’t understood when describing their hallucinations. Most children grow out of their Alice in wonderland syndrome at the end of their childhood.
“Did you ever see objects in your room shrink for a while when you were a kid?”
“Yes, it is called Alice in wonderland syndrome”
“Oh, how come its called that?”
“Because it refers to Alice’s body shrinking and growing abnormally in the story, but another name for the condition is Todd syndrome”
“And why’s that?”
“Because someone named Todd was the first person to elaborate his experience with the syndrome.”

Get the Alice in wonderland syndrom mug.A person (usually a woman) in a photo in which unskillful post-processing made the skin look like almost entirely painted with airbrush tool in Photoshop and turned it roughly into a revolting alien.
This is a common effect due to overuse of bluring, liquiding, clone stamping and softening techniques which are supposed to reduce the small imprecisions of skin and make the person look prettier. Instead, it often backfires by eliminating the features which make the face look real (see also Uncanny Valley).

Get the Go Alien mug.A retarded alien is a species that originates from the planet Zorb in the upper quadrant of the Milky Way. The species is generally short, and is similar in appearance to the grey alien. However this species lacks the proper intelligence of the average alien.

Signs of abduction include:
Nausea
Head aches
Graver
Ass hole pain
Sudden loss of genitalia
And an extreme interest in the Star Wars character Jar Jar
