@jgorneau: definitely saying "back-off"
It kinda looks like a bio-hazard sign!
@Goody--it does...one of my favorite evil villains!
@SusanEllison--I agree.
It reminds me of Darth Maul from "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace."

Thanks Ashish--it definitely looks like a face, quite amazing.
Thanks mattinl--I loved the contrast of it against the cabbage leaves and the scowling face.
They also call Man face bugs.
