that's the one I first saw but then consulted the web to refresh my memory of what the face actually looked like in Michelangelo's original work.
anyway that's when I did the "big face" thing...

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.
