An owl-shaped bulb, a pumpkin-shaped grandfather, and a fried egg-shaped Chihuahua: 30 photos that will make you look more closely at the objects around you (31 photos)

Have you ever noticed that your morning scrambled eggs look remarkably like a puppy? And have you ever seen an owl fly out from deep within an onion while peeling it?





If so, that's wonderful. The brain is functioning properly, but creatively. This is called pareidolia—the ability (or superpower) to see faces, animals, and familiar images where no one intended or created them. A sad robot is hiding in an electrical outlet. An old man is hiding in a dried-out pumpkin. A polar bear is hiding in an ordinary jacket. This collection features the most successful, absurd, and even slightly creepy examples of how nature and chance decided to play tricks on our vision and perception.
