This Victorian-era blast furnace in Shropshire, England, looks like it's been taken by surprise by its neighbor. Its elongated leaded window eyes, circular vent nose, and gapping arched mouth can't help but make us chuckle, topped off by the pointy pitched roof hat and raised right arm chimney.

David Alais from the University of Sydney, told The Guardian: “We are such a sophisticated social species, and... faces are detected incredibly fast. The brain seems to do this using a kind of template-matching procedure. So if it sees an object that appears to have two eyes above a nose above a mouth, then it goes, 'Oh I'm seeing a face.' It’s a bit fast and loose, and sometimes it makes mistakes, so something that resembles a face will often trigger this template match.”
