Hey, not *that* is pretty good! I couldn't tell where the "face" was
supposed to be in the original, but now that Graham has colored in
bits, it's easy to see not only in the colored version but in the
original as well. For anyone who just dismissed it as a waste of time
and didn't actually check the link, go ahead. Look at the modified
version, then back at the original.

Note that I'm not saying there's anything magical or mystical about
it, just a good job of selecting lines and making an image of them.

Oh, and once again, color.

As I've said, this is better than most of the images you've come up
with, but it's still the same basic concept as the face of Jesus in a
grilled cheese sandwich, or the "face" on Mars.

But it's not even as "good" as the grilled cheese sandwich, at least the
sandwich has an "image" on it. Herc's roof is just wrinkled. I bet he's

You have a weird idea regarding what constitutes the
scientific method; one of the most important concepts is the
avoidance of subjectivity, which includes seeing figures in
clouds (or fires, or toasted cheese sandwiches). And try
looking up "Occam's Razor" and research on patterns people
"see" which exist only in the mind of the viewer, both of
which are especially relevant.

Yes. So? You think "Yeah, man, I see it too" would be an

Of course; the ability to repeat the process for a
disinterested audience is also crucial. You fail there, too,
since it rules out subjectivity. As you fail the requirement
to make testable predictions. And there's even more to the
process.

But after you fail the test of objectivity, which you did,
that's all moot.

It's a real bitch when a spurious accusation, such as the
one you made, turns around and bites you on the ass, isn't
