Silliest simplification ever:

麵 --〉面

The character for noodles is the same as the character for face.

No offense to Matt for knowing simplified, though.

haha, sorry dawg - not the same character. 脸

well, 脸 is for a human/animal face, specifically. but 面 refers to the face of just about anything else: books, houses, coins - and is actually inclusive of the human/animal body part in some instances. and it also means noodles.
