Homes That Might Be Trying to Tell You Something

Remember the Virgin Mary in the grilled cheese? Or Mother Teresa in a cinnamon bun? And wasn’t there a Cheeto that looked like Abraham Lincoln? Or was that a McNugget? Anyway, humans see faces everywhere. It’s a phenomenon called pareidolia: interpreting a random stimulus as being more significant than it really is.

Food visions aside, architecture is rife with face-like imagery. The abundant shapes and symmetry can easily form what looks like two eyes, a mouth and sometimes a nose.

The funny thing is, once you notice these faces, it’s impossible to ever look at a house the same way again. Just look at the smirk on this window’s face. Shameful!


Nooooo! Come back! You’ve left me naked and stone cold out here!


Hey, you, somebody, anybody. I’d kill for a glass of that scotch over there.


Come in, dear. Don’t you look ravishing. Let my Bette Davis eyes watch over you while you do your toilette.


Did you say you’re here to reclaim my reclaimed barn wood?


What’s happening over there? No, not another turkey, please. It’s too big. Help!


OK, boys. Here comes that tasty London fog. Open wide!


This fireplace is not amused with your midcentury modern decor.


Sit down and I’ll teach you the secrets to the perfect mascara technique.


Who dares enter my lair? Oh, you’ve brought marshmallows to roast. Please, right this way.


David: Open the pod’s bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.


I might be a lonely mirror, but I’m always so excited to see you in the morning.


Happiest range hood ever.


Go ahead. Wash your hands under my runny nose.


If you’re going to fill my basin with your dirty shaving-cream water, at least put some pants on while you do it.


Well, aren’t you just a mouthful of sunshine?


We’re garage doors now, but soon they’ll promote us to full-time Stormtroopers.
