I see the same thing Robin was, but I can't see anything in yours...black doesn't work very well to outline things on a very dark map with...try white

Here comes explenation. My English sucks. Hard.
But the thing is that a person that spends a lot of time with other people, tends to see human like shapes in world around him. When you put eggs and saussages in a plate some people will see eggs and sausages while most will see face. That is what makes some people see facess in mountains, and a man in the OP pictures. Those who don't spend much time with people, they see just some rocks and good position to take advantage in terrain. Ok maybe this sounds dumb but my friend told me that and at first i didn't get it but now it makes some sence to me.
BTW i see a Irish guy in those pictures. Dunno why - maybe because his suit is kind of green and green reminds me of Ireland.

What you need is a fatty-boom-batty blunt, and I guarantee you'll be seeing a sailboat, an ocean, and maybe even some of those !"£!%%^ mermaids doing some of that lesbian !"$%. Look at me, look at me, you sloppy !$$^"!

Even with all the picture outlines, I can't see clearly for myself when I'm looking at the original image.

...Wow.

Learn something new every day. I'd always wondered about that ability to see faces in things that weren't.

There's a neat bit on the Talk page for that article that I'll reproduce here, quoting Carl Sagan:

Quote: Originally Posted by Carl Sagan
Humans, like other primates are a gregarious lot. We enjoy one another’s company. We’re mammals and parental care of young is essential for the continuance of the hereditary lines. The parent smiles at the child, the child smiles back, and a bond is forged or strengthened. As soon as the infant can see, it recognizes faces, and we now know that this skill is hardwired in our brains. Those infants who a million years ago were unable to recognize a face smiled back less, were less likely to win the hearts of their parents, and less likely to prosper. These days, nearly every infant is quick to identify a human face, and to respond with a goony grin.

As an inadvertent side effect, the pattern-recognition machinery in our brains is so efficient at extracting a face from a clutter of other detail that we sometimes see faces where there are none. We assemble disconnected patches of light and dark and unconsciously try to see a face. The Man in the Moon is one result. Michelangelo Antonioni’s film Blowup describes another.
There are many other examples.
-Carl Sagan, The Demon Haunted World, Chapter 3, p.45.
