See for yourself with Google Maps:

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&t=k&q=Germany&ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=48.857699,10.205451&spn=0.002404,0.006738&om=1


Also:
http://theblight.net/misc/germany.jpg


On a related topic, notice anything wrong with these?

http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&z=19&ll=42.349616,-71.072268&spn=0.001399,0.003712&t=h&om=1

http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=32.788393,-96.798016&spn=0.002868,0.006743&t=h&om=1


And finally, I leave you with The iPod:
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&z=14&ll=-30.519533,121.341505&spn=0.049465,0.079908&t=k&om=1


Edit: did you know that Versailles looks like a giant happy-face stick figure?

Here's its location on Google Maps:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=versailles, france&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=48.80233,2.129823&spn=0.014868,0.043602&t=h&om=1


And apparently there is a thread on Fark containing more weird Google Maps finds here:
