26 Faces in Everyday Objects ~ ~ ~ an amusing few minutes...

Premis: the human mind works as a pattern matching system.

We look for meaning and relevance in the world around us.

We look for faces, it's in our nature as human beings.

They made me smile anyway, I hope they make you smile too...

From the site:

"Have you ever noticed how various objects and constructions look as if they’ve got faces – they are smiling, being angry or amazed. However, what some may call acuteness to detail is usually attributed to a psychological phenomenon, called pareidolia – that’s when a person perceives a random stimulus as something significant, for e.g., sees faces on clouds or buildings.

On the other hand, it doesn’t necessary mean you’re crazy. For example, carmakers are very much aware of this tendency of people to see faces on inanimate objects, and according to car critic Dan Neil “sometimes they play toward it, and sometimes they play against it.”

It may also be more common among people with a wilder imagination. Leonardo Da Vinci once wrote that when an artist is about to invent and paint some scene, he will be able to visualize it on practically any surface. So, if you happen to see an odd face on a wall every once in a while, don’t worry – chances are you’re perfectly normal"

Loved the *World’s Happiest Airplane*, the *Octopus* is cool, and I am sure I know someone who looks like the*angry mop*

Wot! No Jesus on Toast?

Those were very amusing though.

bertie

have a LOL and a facepalm,   for posting something with the word "faucet"  in 

ChrisMusic

Cheers guys, glad to bring a little happiness into the world.

They probably paid to not have the Jesus on Toast served up  

Sorry bertie, I grew up fancying Farrah 'Faucet' Majors, she could play with my spout any day, and give me an odd moist moment too (TMI).  BTW, I never did learn to spell  

Thank heaven the Facepalm button's deactivated.

Iggy always didi took a bit strange, or is it just me, but that skin has a life of it's own I recon. Dali-esque? agreed @hootsmon.

That octopus is just so very simple but effective, one of my favourites too @Deadman

Is that an eggsitentialist yoke @PolarityMan?

Cracking up with no-body to shell out for you must be so eggsasperating,

or am I about to get my metaphors scrambled?

digitalkettle

Brilliant!

I like Pleased Pots best. It's both funny and slightly creepy - even though the faces are happy, it's that you can only see them in the refection, like one of those ghosts you can only see in a mirror...
