Faces in things (part 2)

As I've mentioned before on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, pareidolia is the phenomenon of seeing faces (or other items) in everyday objects and patterns.

Here are a few more examples of pareidolia...

1) Laughing slippers


I don't know what amused these slippers so much, but it was obviously hilarious.




2) Smokin'


Here's a photo of a car smoking a cigarette while taking a selfie of itself with a selfie stick.




3) Fang you very much!


The Pope's audience hall looks like a snake's head with two fangs. I hope that's not meant to be symbolic!




4) Peas on Earth


Sticking with the religious theme, these sprouting peas appear to be worshiping a false sun god.




5) Time for reflection


Here are two bearded men with tortoises on their heads.





6) Cowaloafa!


Teenage mutant ninja loafers.



My short story 'The Boy With Two Heads' doesn't feature any pareidolia or faces, but it does feature heads! Two, to be precise. 'The Boy With Two Heads' is available for kindle from Amazon.
