Rorschach Test with coins. WHAT I SEE, POSTED.

I was flipping through fleabay tonight when I stumbled on this lot. I've got a Ph.D. in Geography and the group of coins looks strongly like a specific country in Europe to me. I'll post what it looks like to me tomorrow sometime.

Let's do a rorschach test with you folks. Does this look like anything to you?

Rorschach test.

FWIW, I have ZERO interest in the item per se.

Spain?

BBE, I wasn't trying to find out if it looked like a country to you folks, I was trying to find out if it looked like ANYTHING to you. Whatever first pops into your head.

Thank goodness - my PhD is in drinking

What pops into my head is often quite scary in nature.

It looks just like a pile of pennies.
Does that make me crazy?

I never knew what to say when asked about these types of things... ink blots look like ink blots, in this case, it looks like a pile of coins. Either I have no imagination (many would dispute that) or I simply cannot relate 'blobs' to life. Cheers, RickO

France....thank you for entering me in your drawing.

SkyMan · May 24, 2008 2:59AM

I see France.

mgoodm3 · May 24, 2008 3:39AM

I also thought France on first look.

looks like what the stray cat in my neighborhood left under my shoe.

mcheath · May 24, 2008 5:48AM

I also saw France when I looked.

I see Paris,
I see France,
I see Skyman,
Posting in his underpants!

(I couldn't help it)

Boy, now THERE is a visual image that will make you want to hurl.

At least our imaginations share a border.

tjkillian · May 24, 2008 10:57AM

I see France too, but I don't have any degrees in Geography, just Mechanical Engineering

JrGMan2004 · May 24, 2008 10:59AM

I've just gotta ask... besides possibly teaching... what the hell do you do with a PHD in Geography???

vplite · May 24, 2008 11:04AM

I see a stupid bidder. I guess I flunked the test.

Actually my specialty is satellite imagery. It is such an esoteric field that when I was applying to grad schools for my doctorate I applied to three different fields depending on the school; forestry, environmental management and geography. In the U. of CA. system satellite imagery was in the geography school, hence my degree in the field.

BTW, our (only somewhat tongue in cheek) official definition of Geography is/was, "The science that is called something else when it is proved useful".

The second photo kind of reminds me of two rows of books with pink and white dust jackets that are sitting on two bookshelves , which could very well be a series of volumes written about the various European countries.
