Okay, here's an odd thing. I found a reference to this in Andrew Sullivan's blog today, but his link didn't work. I poked around a bit and found the original article referenced. It's a .pdf of a scanned page from a medical journal, a bit over 250K, including what appears to be a scary picture of an illusory face inside a scrotum. (At least this is the first illusory face I've seen in a while that wasn't claimed to be Jesus!)
Not recommended for the squeamish. Looks like something from a horror film. Important to keep in mind: it's not really there, just a happenstance artifact of light and shadow, wrinkles and whatnot when viewed from that exact angle. Obviously, the radiologist who did the CT scan thought it was funny enough to put it in a journal. From Wales, of course. (sorry - had to throw that in! :)

The face ...
... wouldn't be that of the wrinkled retainer, would it?
Sorry, I'll get my coat as I leave the premises ;)

Tee hee hee!
"If you were a right testis, would you want to share the scrotum with that?"
I bet that made a change from the usual content of the Journal of the RSM!
And I like the name of the chap from Bangor in the middle column...

As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
The face from Mars.
Well, the other day all "saw" a woman's face on a surface of Mars. Heretofore on Mars "saw" channels. Even made maps of these channels.
Conclusion: The brain tries to order visible eyes chaos. To find in a chaotic heap of stones or sand or in game of treatments of light and shade something familiar to it.
P.S Small experiment - after the broadcasting termination look at "snow" flashing on screen TV. After a while you will start to "see" any meaningful image.
