My pareidolia knows no bounds.

I've had some stuff there for a long time, so I was concerned when I read this. But everything in my account seems to be OK.

What problems are you having?

Larry,

I think you may be right in that it's nothing Photobucket did. I may have absent-mindedly "rearranged" things in such a way that it's not all that clear to me what I did and how to undo it.

The simplest thing to do seems to be what I'm doing, which is reinserting a link to the picture that works, using IMG on the right of the image in Photobucket.

I'm more than halfway done and should finish over the next couple of days.

Hope all these edits are not causing problems, but I felt this mess was my responsibility. I know Tom was upset when it happened early on where my original image store went out of business and left bogus messages in all the places where there were images.

As I go through this, I'm reading every message, and I have to tell you Larry, it's really good. There are some great insights here by all the parties involved.

rderosa please read the original source - for a cited definition of pareidolia in the 1868 issue of The Journal of Mental Science (Volume 13).

Link: books.google.com/books?id=66g8AAAAYAAJ&p...areidolia%22&f=false

Note: Pareidolia isn’t a common phenomenon, it’s a rare mental disorder. The over used word “pareidolia” is actually associated with Hallucinations not image projection.

As an example - the facial aspects observed on the Face on Mars are confirmed features that have been photgraphed over and over, not delusional hallucinations that "appear" as defined by pareidolia. Therefore when skeptics label every observation of face-like formations on Mars as pareidolia, they are totally distorting the word with their own mental disorders.

Larry, I noticed a smattering of that sort of thing all through the topic quite some time ago. Quotes and Apostrophes seem to have gotten garbled with other characters. Not in a lot of places, but in a few here and there. I'll try to clean up whatever I can. I think it may be some conflict between "something else" and your message program. For instance it seems to happen if you copy and paste something rather than just type.

If I read the email notice of Trinket's message it doesn't have that garblization.

I'll leave this with two of Fred's photos that I always believed showed incredible detail considering they were mere thumbnails. I'd love to see the original. Sorry but I don't remember their names:

Top photograph "No Exit"
Bottom photograph "Dan Doloff" (An old friend and the start of proof to me that these images are more than random phenomena). Please check out the full frame super proof print showing the full frame from which the "Einstein" section was cropped (the most detailed pareidolia ever captured- 36 countable features). beyondpareidolia.shutterfly.com/1164

The "Einstein" section can be seen 60% down from top of frame
75% over from left of frame
tilt top part of viewers head to the
right.
