You should read this article (if you get a few minutes).  http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/02/13/news/faces.php

I think they will eventually find that many people (and probably most people) also see text and other "patterns" holistically.   Just as you don't look at an eye, and then another eye ... then a nose ... and realize it's a face ... you don't see each letter individually and then decide what the word is .... there's a self correction going on in the brain that does its best to impose a logic to whatever pattern the brain perceives.

I wish I could find that odd visual puzzle ... it was really fascinating, but I can't for the life of me remember whether I saw it on the net or in a magazine.  Oh well.

Could be worse, could be raining.
