You know what's funny in the modern world? Cars. Not the technical aspect - a car quite a simple construction, compared with a tree or an insect, let alone a mammal. No, what amuses me is that the cars have faces. All of them.
A typical car's front looks more or less like this:
There are two "eyes", one "nose" (usually a company logo) and one "mouth". There are often other elements, but those elements are always present, and always in this arrangement.
The type of the face "defines" the car's character: Feline faces for manoeuvrable cars, canine faces for strong cars, bear faces for large cars, aggressive faces for fast cars, cute faces for small cars... Combinations are, of course, possible: Agressive felines, cute canines...
I wonder whether the humans are aware of this - it seems quite obvious for me. On the other side, nothing can really assumed to be obvious for people who have a tentacle thingy inside their head... Maybe they inconsciently prefer cars which they can "personalize", or they regret the horses and donkeys of the old times. In fact, many humans - in particular males - seem to have feelings for their car not unlike the feelings a rider might have to his mount.
A question to my human readers (if any): Do you agree with me that cars seem to have faces? And if you agree, were you aware of this before reading this post?
