About a decade ago, I remember reading that car-enthusiasts have a slightly harder time recognizing human faces, because their ability to recognize faces is more broadly applied - the same cognitive feature is also used to recognizing [the fronts of] cars.

To any extent, do you perceive the fronts of cars as something easier to identify as a whole (rather than focusing on its individual parts)?

And one more Q: Do you find it common for something to visually strike you as being "cute"? (It's hard to describe why some things appear cute to me, but if I had to search for an explanation, I would assume it's something about proportions which get evaluated by my brain the same way faces do.)

Earlier today, I envisioned Napoleon walking through a spider web. Humanizing is fun.

Have there been any efforts to breed an insect species better for farming than what we've found naturally? (Or are breeding improvements insignificant compared to what's gained by overcoming current obstacles toward entomophagy?)
