Re: We Often See What We Expect To See
My Dad bought Conceptual Physics by Paul G. Hewitt (Second edition) in the 70s which I now have in box upstairs - looking well used. I'd read quite a bit of it before I was ten as it had a child friendly font and cartoon illustrations.
It had this one in it.

Re: We Often See What We Expect To See
It looks like a sofa to me. But then again, I have been to The Goodwood Anything But The Car breakfast meeting where you see motorised sofas and the like and I live in Brighton where you get used to seeing all kinds of unusual stuff on the highway (naked cyclists for a start). I love the unusual so I'm possibly always looking for it

Going? Nowhere Just 'borrowed' the earlier graphic and thought it mildly amusing but with an important point.
Even bland can be a type of character

Re: We Often See What We Expect To See
I was driving down a country lane in the dark early in the morning, it was rather surprising how long it took me to work out that I wasn't seeing the road infront, just the foliage of a rather large tree completely blocking the road! And no, I didn't hit it.
