The Replica Report brings you remarkable Resemblances and the Extractionists that discover them from around the world. Whether Recognized in a cloud, scribble, or grilled cheese sandwich, if it makes the news, you'll find it featured here. The Replica Report is an extension of Art In A Nutshell - a museum whose exhibits reveal the power of Extractionism: the Recognition of Resemblances and their subsequent Extraction and Utilization.

The Replica Report goes galactic this week looking at 4 galaxies whose shapes Resemble the letter 'I'. A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system consisting of stars, stellar remnants, and a interstellar medium of gas and dust, and, it is hypothesized, an important but poorly understood component called dark matter. Examples of galaxies range from dwarfs with as few as ten million stars to giants with a hundred trillion stars, each orbiting their galaxy's own center of mass.
Galaxies contain varying numbers of star systems, star clusters and types of interstellar clouds. In between these objects is a sparse interstellar medium of gas, dust, and cosmic rays. Observational data suggests that super massive black holes may exist at the center of many, if not all, galaxies. They are thought to be the primary driver of active galactic nuclei found at the core of some galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy appears to harbor at least one such object.
Galaxies have been historically categorized according to their apparent shape; usually referred to as their visual morphology. A common form is the elliptical galaxy, which has an ellipse-shaped light profile. Spiral galaxies are disk-shaped with dusty, curving arms. Those with irregular or unusual shapes are known as irregular galaxies and typically originate from disruption by the gravitational pull of neighboring galaxies and are what make the alphabet series possible. Such interactions between nearby galaxies, which may ultimately result in a merging, sometimes induce significantly increased incidents of star formation leading to starburst galaxies. Smaller galaxies lacking a coherent structure are referred to as irregular galaxies.

SAUGUS, Mass. -- Brian Krantz is the latest Extractionist to be covered by news agencies all over the nation because of a Replica he Recognized and Extracted!
Krantz used the drop cloth four years ago to spray paint his shutters; he used it 50 or 60 more times before he noticed something for the first time.
“I had it folded up like this and I threw it on the floor and this is what I saw first,” Krantz said as he held up the cloth.
“My heart went a hundred million miles an hour. I couldn't breath, I felt like I was hyperventilating” said Brian Krantz.
From a distance, it's a paint splattered drop cloth. But take a closer look… “A crown or a halo. Two eyes. Looks like a mustache, nose, there’s the chin, jaw line.” said Krantz. He goes on to Extract an extended right arm with, and here's where it gets good, the Shroud hanging from the arm, a background, doorway and tomb. So the Cloth of Saugus depicts the Shroud of Turin!
The fact that this drop cloth has so many Resemblances that complete a whole scene along with it's creation having been inadvertent or unintentional makes this a special Replica.
To Brian Krantz, the image is perfectly clear. “I can't deny this. This is what it is. It looks like Jesus Christ,” Krantz said. (We here at the Replica Report tend to think it looks a Costa Rican villager with a hat)
Like any good Extractionist, Krantz said he plans to frame the image and keep it in his home.

News agencies the World over reported a couple of months ago on an Alien face appearing in the Aurora Lights!
Landscape photographer Iurie Belegurschi captured the image in the Reykjanes peninsula of Iceland.
It was a clear night on September 8, Belegurschi stayed up all night and waited to watch the aurora Northern Lights dance in the sky.
He said: "I didn't see the alien face during shooting, but when I came home I checked my photographs on the computer and I saw it! It's unbelievable, I couldn't believe my eyes."
"I can't describe with words what I feel when I see the Northern lights, but in my opinion it is the most amazing phenomenon we can witness.
"I wish everybody could see it at least once in their life."
Self-taught Iurie moved to Iceland in 2006 to follow his passion, the Northern Lights. He is now waiting for the solar max in 2013-2014 to capture more aurora activity.

Sometimes a strong resemblance can get you into trouble, especially if it’s a cop who’s doing the recognizing. A couple of Texans were hassled because their Buckeye decal Resembles a marijuana leaf! February 4th, Monday, Bonnie Jonas-Boggioni, 65, and her husband were driving home to Plano, Texas from Columbus after attending her mother-in-law’s funeral when a pair of black police SUV’s stopped the couple a few miles outside of Memphis. “Knowing I wasn’t speeding, I couldn’t imagine why,” Jonas-Boggioni told the Columbus Dispatch. “They were very serious. They had the body armor and the guns.” On the back of Jonas-Boggioni’s car was a Buckeye leaf decal, similar to the one players’ have on their helmets, and cops mistakenly thought it was a marijuana leaf. “What are you doing with a marijuana sticker on your bumper?” one of the cops asked Jonas-Boggioni. That led Jonas-Boggioni and her husband to explain the meaning of the Ohio State sticker, which is given as a reward to OSU football players, Boggioni stepped out of the car to show his 2002 national-championship sweatshirt, one “complete with a Buckeye leaf,” Blundo wrote. Disappointed, the officers excused the unwarranted stop by explaining that an officer in another jurisdiction had called in a report of the Boggionis’ sticker — believing the older couple to be at the forefront of some sort of massive marijuana ring, it seems. “Police hunting drugs should know that a Buckeye leaf — which has five leaflets — doesn’t look much like a marijuana leaf, which typically has seven leaflets and a narrower shape,” Jones-Boggioni told Blundo. Before letting the pair off, officers told the couple that they should remove the Ohio State sticker from their car. “I said, ‘You mean in Tennessee?' ” Jones-Boggioni said. “No, permanently,” the officers replied. “I didn’t take it off,” Jones-Boggioni told Blundo. “This little old lady is no drug dealer.” Src : Joe Blundo of The Columbus Dispatch “Buckeye leaf mistaken by Tennessee police” Feb 14, 2013
About the author: the power of Resemblances inspired artist Ismael Cavazos to create the Old Man in the Peanut after recognizing the heart of a peanut resembles an old man’s hooded head complete with beard. He now brings you Remarkable Resemblances from around the World with the Replica Report.
To compliment the Dame of yesterday we look to a man - his face that is. Mansface Hill is a mountain located in Green River, Wyoming. The mountain is named for its rock outcroppings, which form the shape of a face looking up into the sky.
La Dame de Mali, or Lady of Mali, is a feature of Mount Loura, near the town of Mali, in northern Guinea, near the border with Senegal that resembles the profile of a woman. And not just the head, but also chest, waist and belly!
Mount Loura, altitude 1515 m (Fello Loura in the Pular language) is the northernmost point and highest peak in the Fouta Djallon in northern Guinea. It is 7 km from the prefecture of Mali (also Mali-ville or Mali-Centre). It is part of a complex of mountains called the Massif de Tamgue, which rises to steep cliffs on three sides, and provides views into Senegal and Mali. Its most interesting feature, the rocky profile of an old woman (referred to as the "Dame de Mali" or "Lady of Mali"), can be seen from the nearby village of Dongol Loura. Src: Wikipedia
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 apopheniasynchronicity & simulacra and is limited in scope when discussing Resemblances.
