Shake ‘n bake anything, from coffee grounds to cookie batter, and voila: OH! There is something ELSE there!!!!!!!!

No, there isn’t.

There’s something behind the eye though. It’s good at finding familiar patterns. Knowing this is one thing. Getting a c0nstant dose of examples of how good it is at doing it is also tiresome in the extreme.

The guy had it removed, it was benign. Imagine having to make that decision. Most of us have grown rather attached to those.

@36 Gary: I am making a mental note in extremely large, firm letters. Seriously, I think I broke my mental pencil point pressing too hard.

Obviously it can only be a homunculus. Teach the controversy and let the kids decide!

What I learned was, when loading or un-loading a moving truck,,,pee first,,,

Our bio-mechanics are a classic example of evolution in action, in that it shows a complete lack of anticipation of consequences. Anyone who would worship a god (designer) with such bad engineering sense deserves what they get.

I see three. Two face left, one right.

I see two faces superimposed. One is side profile, the other is from below the face, looking up.

I, too, have suffered from that condition. The only way I can think of to describe it is having a ultra-sensitive 16-lb. bowling ball hanging down there, causing major pain with the slightest movement. That’s what it feels like. It really is no fun.

I agree with Jody – first thing I saw was Yuri Gagarin – maybe a charcoal sketch of him done by Edvard Munch.

Its the whole intra-urethral parturition that freaks me out, boy. I hope they give the poor guy whatever counts as the equivalent of an epidural…

It’s the face of Boe!! The doctor *is* the real god. I’ve been saying that for years.

Testicular inflammation,,,boy, do I remember mine,,,taught me not to lift heavy objects with a full bladder,,,(under those conditions, urine can be forced into the testicle. Unsightly and scary)

Hey, I suffered that, too. I saw the images in real time, but there was no face in my case!
It´s a bit painful, I don’t recommend it to anyone…

It’s pretty uncanny how humans are adept at seeing faces where they don’t exist. When I was a pathologist (I’m retired now) I used to always look at the gallstones in gallbladders, and once I came across a single round gallstone with three dark spots in a triangle, and everyone I showed the gallstone to immediately said ‘it’s a face’ just on the basis of the gallstone being round and having three dots roughly in the right position for eyes and a mouth.

@20 katwagner: Lie. Definitely lie. Say you’re laughing at lolcats. The last thing you want is for him to get the idea that you find injured testicles hilarious

This is too funny, I wonder who was the first person to put that face after seeing the face on the guy’s testicles. Must to have been hilarious! a fractal face expression. HAHAHA!

I can’t stop laughing and I have so many chores to do. Aaand what do I tell my husband when he asks what is wrong with me?
