My pareidolia knows no bounds.

My 'banish' comment was tongue-in-cheek. But with the posts flying so fast it just made things worse.

Sorry.

We just did a whole page in about 45 minutes.

You did. But I missed it. See one of my posts on the previous page.

<br />Possibly. He may actually be sincere. And the nasty thing about that is that we could never <u>prove</u> him wrong without going to Mars.

That's true. But I've often said that's what makes this the ideal case to study.

On Earth, if we see an image on a mountain wall for instance, we can go there an look at it closely. If it disappears up close, or we see why we thought it was a face, we know how to interpret it. If it persists up close, it means some indigent people etched it.

Since we can't prove anything on Mars, apparently, we are really getting to a subject that may never have been explored this deeply before.

This is precisely why I've occasionally posted real Earth images, and even a Cat or two.

One of my basic premises has always been the common sense viewpoint: see it clearly enough, and you're most likely going to be able to tell.

Have we ever really seen anything that convincing?

<br />Sorry Derosa, but this thread is as dead Pareidolia.

Good by.

Why not make your case as best you can? You could call yours Pareidolia (MS DOS)
