When I was quite young my bed was next to a wall with a 'stippled'
wallpaper pattern (bear with me).

In the dim light at night before sleeping I 'saw' outlines of
'little faces' in the wall paper, hundreds of them constantly
changing. I looked for them in the morning but they were always
gone. Were these vanishing faces real?

The brain is particularly good at face recognition, (see any
good psychology text) with the slightest of clues a random
pattern can be 'morphed' by the brain into the most
recognisable pattern, that of a face.

I looked at this picture of rocks from your site and I can see
the same effect quite clearly.

My 'faces' however have no signalling devices but are merely
fragments as I would expect.

One even looks like an 'orc'!

Do you seriously think very small 'Martians' are swimming
about in the dust under the camera on the rover making
'beep beep' signals?
*** seriousness is no longer a consideration respecting your
*** reply. swimming ? beep beep ? No Im not amused.

If these impressions continue I should seek medical advice,
a course of tranquillisers may remedy the problem, so might
a good, healthy, outdoor interest.
*** I feel certain I will hear no more from you about this.
*** your remarks border very nearly upon the slanderous...

*** profession.
*** In it's sheer neglect of the original topic, your "reply"

You clearly a have no sense of humour, so I will desist from any further
attempts to lighten the matter. I had a very happy childhood, thanks, the
incident did not frighten me, it arroused my curiosity, which I carried into
a career in science.
To the heart of the matter, then, I see no people in the pictures, only
rocks. So I am at a loss to explain where you got this idea from, other than
your imagination.

If my humour has offended you, I apologise. But I still think you're wrong.

O'Ryan Wells.
