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 .. https://www.facebook.com/ChristianScienceDixon .
Sadly, the unfortunate slogan "Rising Up" is also plastered across that page.
It looks OK on the ground, but they might want to rethink the “Rising Up” slogan. Pic: Facebook Source: NewsComAu
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:
