What do you see? I can see a couple of eyes, a nose and lips - I can see a face. This is a phenomenon called "pareidolia", it is when you see faces on inanimate objects such as the picture above (I spotted it infront of my hostel on the street). I remember watching on Nat Geo that this started all the way to our ancestors, in order to spot animals quickly the brain would recognize a face or a figure of an animal even on inanimate objects. This is pretty interesting to me because when I was small I got scared poopless when I saw these faces, I thought they were ghosts.
