Larry, it seems reasonable to me to assume Fred would use his own definition (copied below). I don't think it's possible that he would ever use another one.

As a matter of fact, until Zip Monster threw the monkey wrench into the works of this project, there was never much doubt about what we were talking about. Seems like we're accommodating the guy who just took his ball and went home.

How about if we stipulate that when Fred says the word "pareidolia" he's always going to mean "pareidolia (Ressler)" as seen below.

Definition:

Pareidolia--

Pareidolia is the phenomena of seeing faces/figures/forms in patterns; as opposed to where one normally sees faces/figures/forms (on animals including people/landscapes etc.)

Pareidolia is seeing what appears to the individual to be a representation of a face, figure, or form in the clouds, wood grain, marble, smoke, shadows, or any non-homogeneous area. It can also be an auditory phenomenon as in hearing white noise or a record played backward that sounds to the individual like words or a melody that isn't actually there.

You do realize that Gods are not used to being reasonable?

Are you sure it wasn't George (Zip Monster)? But it did happen very fast and I haven't had a chance to go back and check all of the details.

My mistake. Yes, I meant Zip Monster. I'm not exactly sure where I got them mixed up. Sometimes I'm moving too fast for my own good.

Yes. Trust me, I empathize with your plight, running a clean ship. If you had any idea what I've been dealing with (on political sites) the last few years, you'd know why I say that. It's a zoo out there.

OK, now we have two officially registered definitions. I'll repeate them here for your convenience.

* 1 ****************************************************
<b><u>Reference:</b></u> encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/

<b><u>Definition:</b></u>

Pareidolia (/pr#616;#712;do#650;li#601;/ parr-i-doh-lee-#601;) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant, a form of apophenia. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records when played in reverse.

The word comes from the Greek words para (#960;#945;#961;#940;, "beside, alongside, instead") in this context meaning something faulty, wrong, instead of; and the noun eid#333;lon (#949;#7988;#948;#969;#955;#959;#957; "image, form, shape") the diminutive of eidos. Pareidolia is a type of apophenia, seeing patterns in random data.
