OT: Strange Things

Let me qualify my statement by saying I do not reject the existence of spirits.

But...

I looked at the picture and I couldn't say that it looked exactly like a face.

Well that's great. Now I feel creeped out and I can properly start my day on helpdesk...

"There are more things in heaven and earth..."

That said I don't believe, I really just entertain the possibility. But that darn image did get under my skin.

What can I say, caught in the act. Your cat is Thermolian

Maybe it's an image of mary and people are going to start coming to your cat for healings now.

Ooh, that is really nifty.

Probably shadows of stuff in the bright sun. Do you happen to have a tree outside your window?
Or just some miscellaneous items on that table near the window?

PS: I see you've got everything on your desktop sorted into "SEIV" and "Crap". Hehehe

I ought to be possible to grab the cat's eye, filter out the specific colors of the eye itself, de-warp the image as a reflection projected onto a round surface (assuming a sphere should be safe enough). Then reverse the colors for greater contrast and we may have a better view of the issue.

Not that I'm the guy to do these things, but I know we have some photo-manipulators here...

You could do that Loser, but you would lose any sort of image in the process. Assuming it's not Atrocities playing a joke on us, then it is just an optical illusion and not a real reflection. Doing all that manipulation to the image will eliminate the random bits and color variances that our minds are connecting together to make a recognizable pattern. Like when the "Mars Face" viewed from another angle becomes just another mountain.
