What countries look 'odd'?

darkman2 · 04-02-2008 3:00pm #1

If you were to choose countries at random and think they have a shape that looks familiar and you cant help but attach funny connotations with them which countries would they be and why do they look funny?

What countries look wierd or funny?

Come to think of it Ireland looks like a bird or a parrot.

Ireland is a teddy bear learning to drive a car. I thought we were all agreed on that since that learning to drive company put it in their logo.

Not a country, but isnt Miami America's floppy bits?

Oh, and Italy is a high heeled boot.
