Have You Seen the Fnords?

Many or most INWO cards have a some sort of an 'Eye in the Pyramid' symbol. This may be a full-fledged eye in pyramid, a triangle with a dot, or simply a gratuitous triangle.

I like to call these eye-in-pyramid symbols 'Fnords', since the process of looking for them in pictures is akin to the process of looking for fnords in text. Others use the more prosaic acronym 'EitP'.

Sometimes I believe that all INWO cards have some sort of eye in pyramid, or can be understood to have one given enough ingenuity on the part of the viewer. This conjecture bears a certain resemblance to the Discordian Law of Fives, with the difference that this belief can be more easily explained to be a result of human intent.

So, as an effort to investigate this proposition (and because I was avoiding doing other work), I've started trying to list the fnords that I have found. If you know of one that's not listed on this page, please do let me know.

My own criterion for fnords is that if it doesn't have an eye, it should be a gratuitous triangle. I am mistrustful of triangles that occur 'naturally'.

Notes: Whenever referring to cards in the original set, I am referring to the art for the Unlimited Edition, unless otherwise noted. Also, whenever I refer to 'right' or 'left', I'm referring to the orientation of the person looking at the card, not the right or left of people who might be depicted in the card.

Bermuda Triangle: Rachel McGregor Rawlings writes:
(You know, I was going to suggest something silly about the Bermuda Triangle, but I've seen the Fnord!). Turn the card 90-100 degrees clockwise, so that the point nearest the anchor is facing upward. A pale ring with a dark center is visible in the water rolling against the bow. You could even count the pale band 'above' it as an eyebrow.; It's indistinct, but I can convince myself that it's there. (?)
