Time was, a pirate would put a chill in your bones. Now he's warming your heart! And did you ever think you'd coo over the grim reaper? What a conundrum!
Why is it that what makes us saw "awww" one minute can make us say "eeek!" the next? To believe the experts, the theory of neoteny explains why: We like babies! Bringing the proportions of even threatening objects to baby-sizes makes even the grim reaper himself seem adorable. Big, wide-set eyes, small mouths, and giant heads help to soften the image of any creeper!
