That sounds about right. I tried to teach my daughters to swim last summer, but it was too hard to get them past their fears. I suspect that if I had started them as toddlers, they wouldn't have had any difficulty because they wouldn't have any fear.

Haven't you ever seen videos of swimming babies? (to lazy to find one for you). It seems very instinctive. But then I think you would lose that instinct if you didn't keep it up.

Because we think too much and fear too fast, you can't really drown anyway, but because we know fear that stops us from being able to do it right away.

At least, I think it's something like that.

Why can't we humans just instinctively start doing that?

I'm surprised the Jesus brigade hasn't claimed this as a miracle apparition.

That was cool until the snarky atheist comment.

Even after you know the answer, the face still wants to remain.

Hmmm, I see a woman in a dress holding an umbrella...or wearing a really big hat at the top left as well.

I saw the child sitting on the mans lap untill I read the text. Now the first thing I see is that stupid face!

@ Ted

I didn't mean to be snarky.

My point was that while many of the reported "apparitions" of Jesus or Mary (like the cheese sandwich or "cheesus") just look like a blob, or sometimes a figure or face (but not really that of Jesus of Mary), the "face" here really does look like Jesus! Well Jesus as the Vatican portrays him anyway.

The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat (Oliver Sacks) wouldn't have been able to see this face, no matter how hard he tried.

Yeah Ted, he didn't mean to be snarky. His "point" was that while many of the reported blah blah blah. Okay. Never mind. Snarky.

Pretty cool illusion.

Where's the face? I only see the family.

Hey!
I did an "here-it-is illustration" of this illusion years ago... here it is:

nemoOT, I do too! That looks like an artifact from whatever this photo was stored against. Maybe a book.

What about when these types of images are made on purpose, i.e - the Dali naked woman/skull. What are those called?

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

Those are called illusions.

Photoshopped.

ignorant trolling

No probs, Jessss. I'm just too used to seeing the religion-bashing axes that some folks like to grind at every opportunity.

I agree with you that these superstitious face-finding miracles are pretty loopy.
