www.telegraph.co.uk said:

The face of the Beatles’ drummer, Ringo Starr, has been seen in a droplet of water bouncing on a lotus leaf.

A team researching water-repellent leaf behaviour at Duke University in North Carolina took the high-speed images, showing water drops bouncing on the surface of a leaf.

James Dacey, a reporter for Physics World, wrote the story up for the magazine’s website – and noticed the Octopus’s-Garden-composing, Thomas-The-Tank-Engine-narrating 1960s icon staring back at him.

Under the picture, captioned “The Starkey Effect: Ringo keeps psychedelia alive”, Mr Dacey says: “Bizarrely, everybody’s favourite mop-topped Liverpudlian seems to reveal himself in the high-speed photo images of water-droplets being ejected from the leaf surface.”

Starr’s features and mop-top haircut can indeed be seen in the images, even though they distort as the droplet bounces.

Um... THIS is a news story?! It's a blurry reflection on a drop of water. I'm not one to encourage myself to do things like let the sun touch my skin, but these guys need to take a BREAK, get out, go to a movie, have a sandwich, something. Even Pareidolia is like "Whoah man, I just don't see it".

Well at least the image of Ringo didn't start singing. That would have terrified everyone.

It is a stretch of the imagination to see a face in that. It is all about the lighting in the pictures.

Well, they were bigger than Jesus, so it makes sense that they appear in odd places without even being all dead. :lol:
