Has anyone else noticed this?
I have just obtained a Team Badger Geocoin. I left it on the table and my wife came past and glanced at it. She looked puzzled and then said “Why do those people have their heads bowed?”. It was my turn to look puzzled! Then I realised she was looking at the coin upside-down. I did the same and could see what she meant. It looks like two black-cloaked people bowing their heads to an obelisk with a gibbous moon overhead!
Now I know there is a lunatic fringe who hear significant (and usually manipulative) words in backwards speech.
I certainly don’t want to start the same thing in upside-down pictures!
I just see it as an interesting case of the human mind’s ability (and, sometimes, determination) to extract meaning from abstract patterns.
The trouble is, every time I look at the coin now, that’s ALL I see!
(This is my first post and I don’t know how to add an upside-down picture of the coin. If anyone else wants do this, I’d be grateful.)
