Found faces

  • This is all kinds of pancake-eating awesome.
  • I LOVE THIS! It speaks to the soul of me. I'm not being facetious.
  • I can't look at a hex-shaped tile floor without seeing the Pink Panther. Every time.
  • You know, now that I'm done flipping over this, I do have a serious comment. Do you think that the items that on second glance have a face (for example, the iron, socket plug, etc), are the result of a conscious or subconscious realization that people respond better to machines that have a face? Or is that arrangement of shapes just so ingrained in our minds, we design that way?
  • I think it's hard to believe that one or two of these weren't consciously designed to look a bit face-like: but I think that's the exception rather than the rule.
  • I guess it could also be unconscious/subconscious in some cases? I mean, something is coming out in the design that is more than coincidence but not expressly intended.
  • Waaaaayy too much time on your hands, folks. Either that, or mo'betta drugs, ya'll. *stares at stain on carpet Quit lookin' at me!
  • I thought it said "Found Feces". Now I'm disappointed.
  • No shit, Nickdanger. Ah hoo ha hee. I'd suspect we're pretty programmed to spot these and then see them even where it's a bit of a stretch. Isn't it about the first thing you recognise as a baby?
