Elvis Appears on Rock

Elvis Rock

What did people who found shapes that sort of look like celebrity faces in mundane objects do before eBay?

Rock collector LaDell Alexander of Estes Park, Colo., has found a stone she swears has the image of Elvis Presley on it. The rock has a pattern of gray and white that appears to look like Elvis in profile.

“People are calling me the Elvis Rock Lady,” said Alexander, 60. “Seven out of 10 people see Elvis (on the rock).”

Alexander told The Coloradoan newspaper that she found the rock last summer, and she was cleaning it before putting it in her yard when she saw the image. Her husband confirmed the “Elvis” sighting.

“I was about 20 feet away and the first thing I said was, ‘That is Elvis,’” Lynn Alexander said.

Jessica Blezins, who works for Nature’s Own, a store that sells fossils and rocks, said that the image is definitely not man-made.

Now all we need is for Presley’s visage to appear in a roll, which will confirm that he is truly the King of both domains.

    The human brain is truly hard-wired to see faces.

    I wonder whether a person with prosopagnosia (face-blindness) would see a face in the stone. Or whether they'll just see a stone within a stone...

    Alex, I thought of that connection right after I posted this. Such a good joke setup! Then I figured I could rely on you (or maybe some other astute commenter) to bring it up. I think what they really see is a stone in a face.
