ORIGINAL: mnottertail How do you know your brain hasnt fooled you into believing you werent fooled, particularly since you appear to nearly everyone gathered here to be an utter fool? Pff. I have a cognitive faculty that most of you lot lack. Admittedly my brain can be fooled, yes. I have had a couple of cases of pareidolia. However, I am certain about this: two planes never took off; the other two planes landed safely elsewhere. This explains a lot about Rule: quote:
Pareidolia ( /pærɨˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-doh-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para- – "beside", "with", or "alongside"—meaning, in this context, something faulty or wrong (as in paraphasia, disordered speech)
