"The Man in Lincoln's Nose"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_by_Northwest wrote:
<<North by Northwest is a 1959 American suspense film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason, and featuring Leo G. Carroll and Martin Landau. The screenplay was written by Ernest Lehman, who wanted to write "the Hitchcock picture to end all Hitchcock pictures". Hitchcock often told journalists of an idea he had about Cary Grant hiding out from the villains inside Abraham Lincoln's nose and being given away when he sneezes. He speculated that the film could be called "The Man in Lincoln's Nose" (Lehman's version is that it was "The Man on Lincoln's Nose") or even "The Man who Sneezed in Lincoln's Nose," though he probably felt the latter was insulting to his adopted America. Hitchcock sat on the idea, waiting for the right screenwriter to develop it. At one stage "The Man in Lincoln's Nose" was touted as a collaboration with John Michael Hayes.>>

Aren't there some pictures of this before one side started to colapse?

wow, bystander, you sure are fast! After perusing all the pictures i could find from your links, it would seem as though the collapsed side happened before the first picture was taken. It may be a little worse in the later pictures, but its really too hard to tell.
If the light had not been just right when the first picture was taken it would not have drawn so much attention.
There are at least a couple of other interesting items there, like two really shallow craters with something sitting in them that are just slightly smaller than the crater itself. It would seem as though those two objects came in and hit the surface very slowly and "stuck" there, or, they were put there on purpose.
Well....we may never know that for sure either.
It's almost like having too many holes and no donuts :doh:

Millions of years ago, probably.
