Default The face of "Jesus" in my friend's sock!!

Hey, man, check this out:

A few years ago, I noticed a FACE in my friend's sock!! Luckily, I had a camera at the time (Which was a pretty rare occurrence in my Undergrad days). I snapped a picture of it, and here it IS:



OBVIOUSLY THE FACE OF... JESUS! Or, maybe Moses... or maybe one of those Amish dudes that drive the horse & buggies around the Midwest... YOU DECIDE!

any of you who remain unconvinced after this man has bravely offered up such incontrovertable proof of Jesus' existence are simply blind. [-(

There's actually a simple answer: pareidolia.

It can occur in space too. Such as the Witch's Head Nebula.

Or the infamous bird-flipping nebula.

Ahh, the power of pareidolia... :P

BTW, I'm pretty sure that SandyBecker was joking.

Witch's Head Nebula?

Looks more like the Marlboro Man using his asthma inhaler while riding on Dino the Flintstones dinosaur.

That's what you see when you're too close to your screen. If you back away a bit you'll see the head shape. Sort of like this painting by Salvador Dali. Up close its a room with curtains, paintings and a little couch...but back away and you have Mae West. :wink:

My desktop background is the Carina Nebula, with the middle finger! I didn't notice it until much later. Funny stuff.

Default Yeah, it's "Off Topic"

OK, I should have put "OT" in the subject [-X , but it was the face in the shower curtain that inspired me.

It's all just an example of Pareidolia, like Wolverine said. I personally consider it a GREAT example.



p.s. the Witch's Head Nebula looks like she's toking up, to me...

:-? 8) :x :P ops: #-o =D> :wink: :roll: :^o [-X 8-[ [-(

That single eye makes it look like Turanga Leela's dad. There's the astronomy connection. :wink:
