The most remarkable element of this latest Extraction is that the Resemblance was covered up by paint! If you consider that a grilled cheese sandwich sold for $28,000 because of a Resemblance to the Virgin Mary and a chicken nugget sold for $8,100 because of its Resemblance to George Washington, it makes hearing this news even more strange. Perhaps if the owners that contracted Sam Dalby, a 37 year old self employed interior decorator, had discovered it and not Sam himself, they would have been more inclined to save it - maybe even framing it off as I instruct my students to do when they find a Resemblance at their homes. This Resemblance appears on a Type II Matrix - man made but inadvertant or unintentional.
Pareidolia is a word often used when reporting on such stories. The word was first used by Goldstein in 1994 despite other vocabulary words existing such as apophenia synchronicity & simulacra and is limited in scope when discussing Resemblances.
