Can we also include misperceived images? There is one that is meant to be a door, I believe. Brown rectangle made up of panels with door knob.
I always see it as a piece of chocolate with a very stingy single hazelnut…

There’s actually a pretty hilarious thread where we discuss our misinterpretations of the artwork here:

Thanks, Kukapetal!

Wait… it’s not &quotwalksies&quot???

I thought they were “Snufflers” for quite a long time.

My favorite bakery is the Ministry of Public Delicacies, their crepes are amazing.

Another discovery I just made: It’s the NUMISmatrix, not the NUSImatrix. How do you even pronounce that smoothly?

28

Me too! (Now next time I see a game reference to one, I’ll have to scrutinize the spelling, just in case.) :-)

“Uncanny Incunalabula”
Bleh. Try saying that ten times fast.

It’s nice to know that God’s Editors made it possible for openly trans people to attain sainthood.

Speaking, or trying to speak, of Incunabula this is fascinating:

Just realized I’ve been reading &quotLacre&quot as &quotLarce&quot for two years. My world is crashing down around me.

Every time I see &quotEntering Her Enduring Majesty’s Court&quot I read &quotEnduring Her Eternal Majesty’s Court&quot. A somewhat skewed mental image there…

And Walkskies too. Took me forever to notice out that &quotk&quot was there. I think until I tried to impersonate Topsy King and say it out loud.

Heck, I have trouble saying it once slowly!

I used to read ‘Flit’ as ‘Filt’.

I thought that myself, and I found it confusing (how could it be both Brass and Silver?) Actually I’m still a bit confused. Brass slivers would be annoyingly sharp, hard to count, and thus hard to use as a medium of exchange. But then, we are talking about devils, who only try to please if they see a soul that can be bought.
