Country Look Alikes
published October 21, 2009
When I was a child I was a geography prodigy. I got pissed off at all the idiots on Carmen Sandiego show, because the questions were dirt easy for me. I remembered noticing that a lot of the countries looked like various strange things due to my hyperactive imagination. Here are some of these country look-alikes from my childhood.
