Parei do what now?

Pareidolia.

I know we have all experienced this. It's an interesting phenomenon that happens to me a lot, (there is a fox that lives on my bathroom floor) but I never knew the name of it.

Definition from Merriam-Webster.
" The human brain is optimized to recognize faces, which could also explain why we are so good at picking out meaningful shapes in random patterns. This phenomenon, pareidolia, could be responsible for a host of otherwise unexplained sightings, such as the face of the Virgin Mary on a toasted cheese sandwich."

Grumpy purse is grumpy:

This purse is so kawaii!

Poor cement block. I feel your pain, buddy.

Way way too happy...er, whatever it is:

A face of complete disdain:


“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”

Kathy thank you for explaining why every where I look I see faces where faces are not.
