    Museum of Rocks that look like faces

    Came across this link, thought it was cool. What's great about these folks is atleast they know there Rocks are just Rocks. Lol. Only rule to be in the museum is that the face must only be crafted by mothernature... They've got some good ones from the looks of it.

    In Chichibu, Japan, two hours northwest of Tokyo, there’s an odd museum; perhaps the only one of its kind. It’s called the Chinsekikan (which means Hall of Curious Rocks) and it houses over 1700 rocks that resemble human faces. The museum houses all kinds of jinmenseki, or rock with a human face, including celebrity lookalikes like Elvis Presley. And according to a 2013 post on Kotaku, there are also movie and video game character rocks like E.T., Donkey Kong and Nemo. More

    How could he possibly know for sure? The guy had a passion for rocks which I respect. This is a neat post with cool pictures but?

        Neat. Here's my best one:

        ​I did actually find this in association with late Neolithic artefacts, so I'm not ruling out the possibility that someone from that era was as amused by it as I was. But it is completely natural and unmodified.
