  • BadAstronomer, on 01/22/2008, -14/+237This is very silly, and easily debunked: http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2008/01/21/spea ...

  • KevinRoseMom, on 01/22/2008, -9/+119Is it pretty intriguing. Is it just part of our brain that likes to see things like faces and figures in inanimate objects? i.e. just a trick of our brain... or is it real? It's just not *quite* clear enough to tell. Unless you have one of those special "zoom" features they always have on TV :)
  • sjbdallas, on 01/22/2008, -3/+114The rover better watch out. Martians scare easily, but they will return. And in greater numbers.

  • Matteos, on 01/22/2008, -4/+72So Bigfeet are not only hidding here on earth, but they have mastered space travel far beyond our capabilities.
    In that case, let me be the first to welcome our Bigfeet alien overlords

  • chaosium, on 01/22/2008, -4/+39"Is it just part of our brain that likes to see things like faces and figures in inanimate objects? "

    Yes, it's a fairly well-understood feature in evolutionary biology.

  • Hockey13, on 01/22/2008, -11/+40You have the right to practice your religion just like we have the right to bash religion. It's called free speech, my friend. Nobody here is saying you should be shot in the face for believing what you believe.

  • norman619, on 01/22/2008, -0/+18Pattern recognition is one of those things we as a species do best. But this tends to make us see things that aren't really there which is why you really shouldn't put much weight in a still.
  • Hypermarkalan, on 01/22/2008, -3/+21"can't you people just leave the religious alone?"
    Perfectly reasonable. You get your people to treat us non-religious as equals and stop demonizing (quite literally) us and we'll leave you alone. Deal?
