No doubt this has been photoshopped too, but I don’t care. Ceiling Cat moves in wondrous ways to convince us of Her power. The photo appeared in the UK Metro the other day. The article says: “It was photographed during a dive in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, by wildlife snapper Mark Webster who immediately spotted its uncanny likeness to the donut-loving power plant worker.’I immediately saw a resemblance to Homer Simpson with the bulging eyes and that slightly vacant look with its mouth open,’ he said.”
[JAC note: I think this photo is real: you can find it on Lonely Planet Images with information about the photograph.]
I vaguely recall a news story a few years back about asian fisherman throwing back shells and fish that resembled faces, because of bad luck or something.
I wouldn’t be surprised if human selective action based on paradoilia was in fact producing more wildlife with face-resembling features.
Heikegani crabs.
That was featured in Carl Sagan’s ‘Cosmos’ I think…
A just-so story. I’ve seen them close, they’re really small, no food value there.
Richard Dawkins mentions them in several books, at first as a possible example of selective evolution but by either The Ancestor’s Tale or The Greatest Show On Earth (can’t remember which) he said that the crabs just didn’t appear to be a large enough species to be valuable commercially and therefore there wouldn’t have been any selective pressure on them.
Homer Simpson as fishface?
I’m sure I have seen that already 😉
That’s not Homer, that’s Me Gusta 😀
I can totally see how Homer is a caricature of a Star Gazer. Too bad nobody thought to copyright it.

This is clearly Linda the Lungfish from the Double Fine game Psychonauts:

Respectfully, that is Peter Lorre.
Clearly, and with all due respect to the hallucinating heretics posting earlier, this is clearly Peter Lorre.
omigods it is too! Is this proof of reincarnation?
Wait, what? I thought snappers were a type of fish.
