I thought this was the face being talked about.

    Maybe the latter. It would be interesting to know what you see in 20
years.

      Yeah, I see a face; actually several faces (with the dark knots as
'eyes'). Aren't we hard-wired this way--to see competing, threatening fellow
primates in the bushes? Sure, we don't have too many bushes any more, but we
do have linoleum patterns, drapery patterns, not to mention competing
primates on the roadways...

      But, hey, I see a cross-legged Buddha beneath that bright star--you
think I'm evolving? Or just a delusional, drug-crazed, new age,
anti-khristian?

      Regardless: nice pic!

        Check out this Hubble image of NGC 1316. Does anyone else see the
face below the bright star? Reminds me a lot of the image of God in the
Sistine Chapel.
