Dave's Pareidolias

Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon that causes people to perceive a specific image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern. For example, someone might see a face in a cloud formation or in an inanimate object.

Here are some examples of pareidolia:

  • The "Face on Mars", a satellite photograph of a mesa in the Cydonia region of Mars 
  • The Man in the Moon and the Moon rabbit 
  • The face of Jesus in a flour tortilla, grilled cheese sandwich, or pierogi 
  • The face of Satan in the clouds of smoke billowing out of the World Trade Centre after the September 11 attacks 
  • The samurai crab, a Japanese crab with a shell that resembles a human face 
  • The teapot that people thought looked like Adolf Hitler 
  • The human brain is well-suited to recognizing faces, which may explain why people are so good at picking out meaningful shapes in random patterns.


Here's a few I've found. Enjoy!

A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
