May 31, 2007: Face on a tree

Undertoad · 05-31-2007, 07:18 AM

Axlrosen finds this at Fortean Times, where they have a feature called Simulacra.

Quote:

A staff photographer on the Shropshire Star spotted this melancholy face on a tree standing in Ashton Road in Shrewsbury, next to Shrewsbury High School's junior department, in January 2006. Staff and pupils had walked past the tree every day without noticing the striking simulacrum -- or, at least, without drawing anyone else's attention to it.

It is just one of many examples of pareidolia.

I'd like to see the 'mouth' up close, it looks like a knife cut to me.
And a rabbit.

Now. Why is that, you s'pose?

So.... After Dick in a Box came Box in a Box... I just taught my 9yo to play cribbage where one pile of card is called the box and belongs to the dealer. I once sang "let's see what you put in in my box" to that tune, and now she sings it all the time. I just can't tell her why I'm pmsl. How not to parent.

....as you were, sorry....

I am so happy that the "Face on a tree" post did not involve a gross motorcycle accident!

Those don't look like eyes!!! They look like two bare butts!

Aliantha · 06-01-2007, 06:30 AM

I think they look like cats eyes

Hmmm...I wonder what it would taste like sauteed in butter with some onions? Mmmmmmm, tree face.
