Google Earth shows phallic-looking church in Dixon, USA

SOMEONE built a church which looks suspiciously like part of the male anatomy. And it's not the first time Google Earth has uncovered unusual images - from above.

Someone actually built a guitar-shaped mansion in the US state of Alabama.

A CHRISTIAN Science society in the US has exposed itself to ridicule by building a church that looks suspiciously like a penis.

The church, which is appropriately located in a city called Dixon, looks innocent enough at ground level. But fire up Google Maps and the terrible, unholy truth becomes clear.

Today the church responded to these unwelcome Revelations, assuring the world there would be a "giant fig leaf coming soon" on its Facebook page.

Sadly, the unfortunate slogan "Rising Up" is also plastered across that page.

A lot of things look more interesting from above. Even things that aren't shaped like genitalia. Here are some more crazy images from Google Earth:

This man-shaped lake is in Brazil. It's fairly, err, detailed.

Aww, this tiny island is shaped like a heart. It's called Galesnjak.

Yes, there's a car parked halfway up that wall. Don't worry, it's art. This is in Westenbergstraat.

The Osmington White Horse can be found in the UK, carved into the white chalk of a hillside.

Where's Wally? Well, it's actually kind of obvious. Canadian artist Melanie Coles built this image in Vancouver.

NOTE: Yes, we realise this story doesn't fit the traditional definition of "hard" news.
