Nearly everyone has encountered at least one cloud that looked like something entirely different. Bears, kittens, and bunnies are common, but what about the less conventional clouds...
Toilet Cloud: This cloud looks exactly like a toilet as seen mid-flush. The real question, then, is whether or not the clouds flush in the same direction in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
The Van Halen Cloud: The photographer, Dave Coustick, says it's an eagle, but I'm seeing Van Halen.
Spartan Cloud - In this case, the photographer (Flaminia Grubacki) saw this cloud as a person running away from something. Why not running to something? I don't know. Maybe she's just a glass-half-empty kind of woman. Either way, I thought it looked like a Spartan warrior.
Macedonian Architectural Mosaic Cloud - Credit for the original cloud picture goes to Bruce Burkman. I'll agree that they look like waves, but instead of looking like real waves, they actually look more like the wave portrayals of ancient mosaics in places like Pella and Pompeii.
Jabba the Cloud - This cloud picture by Allison Summey looks an awful lot like an angry Jabba the Hutt.
The Star Trek Cloud - Some people may say this cloud looks like a boomerang, but those people just haven't spent enough time watching Star Trek re-runs. It's very clear that this cloud is a Starfleet emblem.
And because a post on clouds just wouldn't be complete without it, here's Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now".
