Thank you Dave, what the "beep" am I doing wrong with the url code? I feel so dumb! I'm typing: [url=insert address]link[/url]. I can do this everywhere but here!
I'll tell you what you're doing wrong. Here, you need quotes around the address. Or,
[url="insert address"]link[/url]

Every so often someone will post at Bad Astronomy how they have "proof" that there are ruins of an ancient civilization on Mars. They will then trot out pictures of Cydonia or pictures of rocks (photographed by the rovers) that sort of resemble certain objects (pareidolia).


Reminded me of an article I read:

http://www.skepticreport.com/psychics/shapesintheclouds.htm

Explains how the human mind sees something and looks for the closest object that it comes to. Pretty intersting, and it is the same reason for claims of artifacts on Mars.
Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Not to bring Bad Astronomy links here as the only place of knowledge but this came up on a google search for 'seeing faces'. http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/lenin.html

Also, here are two links to cool pics of faces where they aren't.
