I keep hearing how easy it is to find faces in natural formations and I know
we evolved with a great capacity for recognizing facial features, but I have
yet to see any orbital pictures of an earthly formation that looks anything
like the one on mars. I would also like to see an orbital picture of the
pyramids for comparison's sake. Know where any are?
