For example, it was just pointed out to me that the KFC guy Colonel Sanders' bowtie looks like a mini stick body. Now I'll never be able to look at him again without thinking of that.

I know everybody has some of these of their own. Hopefully we can have a little (appropriate) fun sharing them!  :)

I've seen way too many people doing weird things in offices via covert camera installs than I'd like to.

Roadwise, there's the general Snoopiness of the Cincinnati beltway:


Then, there's also this in Dallas-Fort Worth, perhaps most apparent when viewed upside down:

I-270 around Columbus is shaped like Porky Pig's head.

There is a right arrow in FedEx's logo.

Their 1930 logo should return, used by their crop-dusting division:

Odd that looks like Helvetica font which was released in 1957

Back before a local Taco Bell was remodeled, it used to have some old, faded, cheap Mexican art on the walls.  The art was full of metaphor and meaning, and it fascinated me.  Then, one day, I realized one of the landscapes was depicting a crotch shot of a woman giving birth.  The mountains were her knees, for example.  Knowing something about the culture, it totally made sense–it was a painting of the motherland, if you will.  It's the kind of thing that thousands of people could look at and never realize–indeed, I'm sure they had already and never did–but, once you realized it, the imagery was obvious.  I pointed it out to my wife, and she was dumbfounded.  I'm quite sure manager after manager never even had a clue.  Every time we went to that Taco Bell, my wife and I had our own little secret.  Sometimes we'd tell our friend riding in the car with us, "That's the Taco Bell with soft porn hanging on the wall", and they'd ask us what the heck we were talking about.  After that first realization, though, it was impossible to look at the picture and NOT see the intention of the artist.

Sadly, that restaurant was updated a couple of years ago, and the old tacky pictures on the walls are long gone.

I was shopping at a Wegmans earlier this year, and couldn't figure out why anyone would want this presumably unlucky cat food...

I call the area enclosed by I-5, I-82, I-84 and I-90 in the Pacific Northwest the "Nordschleife", due to the striking resemblance it has to Nürburgring in Germany.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

No. I didn't get it either, and I'm from Wegmans' hometown. They don't have any locations west of Erie, PA, so it must've been on a trip of some sort, which makes me all the more curious.

Yeah, kind of...now that you mention it.

We're Purina folks here, I just know of 9Lives because it was frequently used as a grocery item on The Price Is Right in the 90s. So thank Rod Roddy for that one.
