Devil Eyes

From Wikipedia:

Devil Eyes was the code name for a secret psychological warfare program in 2005–2006 by the United States Central Intelligence Agency to develop an Osama bin Laden action figure and distribute it in South Asia, especially Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The CIA worked in conjunction with toymaker Donald Levine, a former Hasbro executive who has been credited as the "father" of G.I. Joe toys. Levine designed a 12-inch lifelike figure of bin Laden whose face was painted with a material that, when heated, would peel off to reveal a demon-like visage with red skin, green eyes, and black markings. The goal of the program was to scare children and their parents to turn public opinion against the real Osama bin Laden, or Al-Qaeda. Levine sought to manufacture the toys in China, and he had business contacts there who could assist.
In 2014, the CIA acknowledged the existence of the program but said it had been discontinued after Levine had produced only three prototype figurines. According to The Washington Post, however, an anonymous source in China with "direct knowledge of the project" said that hundreds of the toys were created and shipped to Karachi, Pakistan in 2006.
A prototype of the design was sold in an auction in 2014 for $11,879, and another sold for $6,250 in 2015. The remaining one of the three known prototypes is believed to be in the ownership of the CIA.

Not many people know Devil Eyes was a real CIA counter terrorism psychological warfare project.

There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

To find meaning and beauty in the manmade or natural environment which is generally not regarded as beautiful or worthy of deep contemplation; to appreciate the beauty of mundane things and moments in life.

student eyes

When you get so interested in a subject/field to the point where you eventually start looking at every aspect of life through that perspective.

Friend: ''Hey, what ya looking at?''

Architecture Student: ''Oh, nothing, just appreciating the intricate design of the doors of the building''

Sociology Student: ''Yeah, I wonder how many social exchanges have occurred around those doors''

Philosophy Student: ''But how and when do we consider something a door?''

Friend: *Sigh* ''Student eyes?''

Students: ''Yeah...''
