My father's son can only be me.

Certainly! But he isn't "that man". "That man" can only be my son (or perhaps nephew). I am pointing to "that man" who is in the portrait.

No. If the picture is of me, then that man's father is my father.

Those features are actually on Jupiter. I just added a bit of colour to highlight them.

Here is the original Jupiter pic:-



OK, maybe I added the nostrils  [;D]  but you can clearly see the eyes & mouth.

Michael Jackson spotted on a Rover 200?

There is an uncanny resemblance to Billie Jean singer. But then again, it could also be confused with any of the following:

• Generic Eighties rock band frontman
• Jesus
• Noel Fielding
• Alan Rickman in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves

I've heard a space heater produce "garbled voices"; however, as I understand speech production and recognition, it's was obviously combinations of frequencies approximating vowels formants (in fact, it all sounded like garbled "vowels" and no consonants).

On the subject of recognising of garbled voices ... http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/matt.davis/sine-wave-speech/
