Have you ever wished you could see what you look like with only one eye? Yeah, me neither. But, if you DO want to, there's a web-toy called Monoclopse that will let you do exactly that.
The site offers up a grid of other users' pictures that they created using Monoclopse, and you can click the camera icon to create your own.

Of course, if you have a Mac you can achieve a similar result with one of the effects in Photo Booth, but Monoclopse makes the process more simple, and more accurate.
It's silly, but fun.
