Faces? Faces!!

Pareidolia (pronounced "par-i-DOH-lee-a") is a brain phenomenon in which a person can sees faces in inanimate objects, such as an image of the Virgin Mary in grilled cheese.
Probably the most famous astro-Pareidolia is the witch nebula, but I think there are quite a few other good examples around!
Here is a face in profile from NGC3327 that I imaged in a lapse in the clouds last night.
8 x 300s for each of SHO
GSO 250mm F4
Do you have any other examples of faces?
