When you can see familiar things on the surface of objects?
Like when a potato looks like Wayne Rooney (bad example).
Like Turin Shroud: when you can see an image in the craggs of a mountain, or faces in the clouds.
What's that called? There's a name for it - beginning with 'S' I think.

Tut-tut, losing your faith?

Well, I'm guessing you mean simulacrum([URL] http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=simulacrum [/URL]).

An illusion, if you will.

I’ll make a word for it.

A shanzanism.

It’s similar to a shamanism, which of course is a religion practiced by indigenous peoples of far northern Europe and Siberia that is characterized by belief in an unseen world of gods, demons, and ancestral spirits responsive only to the shamans.

That's alright, I'm nearly always confused anyway. But I really need this word. Maybe there's not a word for it...

Is it a, "s**t look at that" phenomenon?

I am Super Kev! No I'm not.
And no one knows the answer to the question. That's no good. No good at all.

It's not silhouette. Of course not!

I thought it was stigmata - but that's just Jimmy Christ's crucified wounds manifesting on those black-gowned babes of the convents.


There was a photo of one of the 911 towers falling, and in the smoke the so-called "face of Allah" could be seen. There's a word for this haphazard phenomenon.

It would...ish

Lets say you seen a cloud in teh middle of a blue sky that looks like a dog, that cloud would be a silhouette.

I seen god/jesus in the clouds once, he had long hair, a long beard, and a gap for eyes, mouth, and nose, and the way the sun shone, it gave each gap an orangy glow.
