    If you look hard enough, you can see whatever you want to see.

    I've never come across a likeness of him in wood, but I sure say his full name 10-12 times a day, and funny thing is his middle name keeps changing too.

    What you are experiencing is called Pareidolia. As human beings, we are excellent at finding patterns and recognizing things like faces and people. We are so good at it that sometimes we see things that look real to us when really they are just random patterns.

    If it looks like Jesus to you, that must be what is on your mind. If I see anything, it's a woman dancing. I guess that's what's on my mind.

    If Harold is our father, then that makes his uncle Red (Green), the angel of Duct tape?
