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.

Senegal and Baron von Blubba from Bubble Bobble

 

 

Niger and a Gas Mask

 

 

Tanzania and a Human Skull (side view)

 

 

Namibia and Rebel Gun Tower on Hoth (from The Empire Strikes Back)

 

 

Philippines and a Jellyfish (possibly a stretch)

 

 

Italy and a Boot (The most obvious one)

 

 

Norway and a Spoon

 

 

South Africa and a One Horse Open Sleigh (from a previous Archnemesis article you can view here)

 

 

Nicaragua and Babe the Pig

 

 

Cameroon and a cockatoo (kind of looks like a roadrunner or a rooster too)

 

 

Slovenia and a Running Rooster (idea from TotallyLooksLike.com)

 

That's all for this installment. Perhaps in the future there will be Lake or state look-alikes! Stay tuned!
