This is totally TRUE!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. to a degree!.!.!.!

Mirrors do NOT show the exact image!. What they show is a reversed image!. It is NOT the same as in real life!. Left becomes right and right left!. In some cases they may even flip top and bottom, like in a fun house, so NO, mirrors do NOT show the exact image!. However, in the optical path of a SLR camera for example, by the use of a special made prism, a Pentaprism - http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Pentaprism
a mirror CAN be fooled to give you, the viewer, the real world as it is seen by you and your camera lens!.!.!.

Film records the world upside down and backwards because the lens of ANY camera projects it this way, even digital cameras!.!.!. on their electronic chip!.!.

Take a picture of a friend, girl or guy and have them against a solid color back ground with no visible detail!. Use any photo editing program and flip their image left to right, and then print it!.!.!.!. Most people will say - what is wrong here!.!.!? Something don't look right!.!. ! We all have imperfections in our physical make up and when we see ourselves or others presented in a way that is reversed, it is noticed!.!. But we are used to our image in a mirror!.!.

And if YOU look into a mirror!.!.!. it may crack, but not me or any of the people I hang with!.!.!. ;-)
