Ever Dream This Man?

Posted by Miss Cellania in Everything Else on October 14, 2009 at 11:55 am

In 2000, a psychiatric patient drew a picture of a man who appeared in recurring dreams. The picture was left out on the doctor’s desk, where another patient recognized it from his dreams as well! With a bit of investigation, other patients who saw the same face in their dreams were found. As of now, at least 2,000 people recognize the face as one they’ve dreamed about. How about you?

The Face in Hogenakkal Falls

Neatoramanaut Debashish Paul took a photo of a section of Hogenakkal Falls in South India that has a face of a mustachiod man. I know, I know, it’s just pareidolia (the tendency of human brains to see familiar images and faces in objects), but it’s still very cool!

Link – Thanks Debashish!

The Mundano Building in São Paulo, Brazil

Posted by Alex in Architecture, Arts & Crafts, Travel & Places on January 3, 2009 at 2:16 pm

Those distinctive eyes, nose and lips are the hallmark of a Brazilian street artist Mundano. But instead of graffiti, this particular one graces the whole facade of a building in São Paulo. I can just imagine the lower "lips" rolling up when the store opens for the day.

Found at Wooster Collective, where one would find such things: Link | More of Mundano’s street art on Flickr

Snow Faces

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Pictures on December 28, 2008 at 2:13 pm

The folks over at 2pie blog have a pretty neat idea: make a snow print by pushing their faces into fresh powder on cars. The images are all concave, but make for an optical illusion of 3D sculptures!

I saw this circulating on the Net a few days ago, but didn’t get the chance to post it till now. Better late than never! Link

Face Detection Camera Ad

Posted by Miss Cellania in Advertising on December 22, 2008 at 11:13 pm


Face detection technology is a popular feature in digital cameras. Nikon’s latest ad campaign focuses on the feature, bragging that the Nikon S60 can detect up to 12 faces. The ad are both funny and creepy! The other two at LA Weekly are even creepier than this one. Link -Thanks, Erin Broadley!

Vets Reattach Cat's Face After 'Cat'-astrophe

Posted by Alex in Animal, Medicine on December 12, 2008 at 12:47 pm

Gentlemen, we can rebuild her. We have the technology. And that’s just exactly what vets did for Edgar, a 4-year-old long-haired feline who lost her face in an accident:

Me-ouch! Veterinarians on Tuesday performed an unusual surgery to reattach the face of a cat they believe was injured by a car’s fan belt, probably because she tried to stay warm under the hood. [...]

Remarkably, Edgar suffered no major blood loss nor any permanent nerve damage from her accident. She just needed to have her facial skin stitched back on during an hour-long surgery, according to veterinary surgeon Michael Pavletic.

"And she should be fine after this," Pavletic said. Besides the skin hanging from Edgar’s face, Edgar seemed normal, Kendrick said. "She was purring and sticking her head up so we could pet her," Kendrick said. "She even tried to chew at her skin. I’d never seen anything like it."
