		<description>My first reaction was &quot;marmoset&quot;.  No particular reason, just that word came to me.  I started seeing a mangled bunny or a floppy-eared dog with no nose, maybe a cocker-spaniel.

After Scott Panzer, I think I see the &quot;angel&quot;.  It is a full-bodied angel, facing to the right. The dark circle on the right is the head, and there&#039;s a lighter spot above it as the halo.  The body in robes goes down, and the rest of the big brown stain going left over the middle is the wings.  Deformed, droopy wings.</description>

		<description>Troy&#039;s got it right. That&#039;s Jim Morrison... after turning into a vampire and being shot in the middle of his forehead...

Wonder what a psychologist would make of that!</description>

		<description>Christopher Sisk said at 12:41pm:

&quot;It looks more like a cross-section of some tree brain. Mmmm. Eucalyptus Grey Matter&quot;

Not surprising, as there is a Eucalyptus species called the &quot;Ghost Gum&quot;, and it is grey as well. ( I was going to say &quot;Grey Ghost Gum&quot;, but I think RR used that name first!).

But the idea of a cross section of something is appealing. I know, it reminds me of a cross section of a tree trunk or branch that has had an attack of some Angle Moth caterpillar.
