30 times the world stares at you with interest (31 photos)

Take a closer look at the façade of a house, at spilled coffee, or at a cloud in the evening sky. See a pair of eyes and a smile? That's pareidolia—the human brain's amazing ability to add familiar images where the artist didn't intend them.





In this collection, electrical outlets make disgruntled faces, mountain slopes freeze to form the profiles of ancient giants, a pepper smiles, a tomato rages, and a soap dish masterfully pretends to be a frog. Some faces are touching, others are frightening, and still others make you turn around twice. There's only one main rule here: if you think someone's looking at you, they probably are.
