Pareidolia - for some it’s Jesus Christ, for me it was a filovirus

I'm sitting in Rossopomodoro in Covent Garden, enjoying a lovely pizza with two of my cousins, Caroline and Katie, and Katie's fiancé John.  I may have had a few beers and a glass of wine, but I was still coherent.  From my seat I glance up at the counter, and see the mosaic design:

I pointed out the design to the others, and to be honest, they looked at me as though I was slightly deranged.  They couldn't see anything significant about the design in the mosaic.  Whereas to me, the design was quite obviously modelled on the Ebola virus.  Again, I got some blank looks when I tried to explian, and the conversation went back to whatever we'd been talking about before I'd interrupted on this slight tangent. 

For those who don't know, this is what the Ebola looks like (magnified a fair few times obviously):

 Is it just me then?

I’m not sure pizza and ebola are a good mix. The real question is who thought up the name “Rossopomodoro”? It’s like they thought of a way to get as many Os in the name as possible.

It’s like Ebola I agree - only the bit underneath the olive oil appears to make it a variant of SARS. Hope that helps.
