* The Washington Monument doesn't look like [[George Washington]]. [[Jeff Dunham]] jokes that it looks more like a tribute to [[Bill Clinton]].
* One word: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Scandinavia.TMO2003050.jpg Scandinavia].
** The two euro coin used to look [http://euromuenzen.com/eurocoins/2-euro/details/2-euro.jpg like this]. Newer versions [http://www.harrimantravelbooks.com/2_Euro_coin.jpg added Norway]{{Dead link}} for the sake of ending the penis jokes.
*** Unsuccessful; it looks even more phallic now. ''Doubly'' phallic, actually, as the land part looks like a head-on view of a dick and the water looks like a side view of an erection.
* [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/YpsilantiWaterTower.jpg This particular water tower] in Ypsilanti, Michigan. It's like the architects were trying as hard (no pun intended) as possible to make it look phallic.

** In the same vein, Karen Armstrong's book ''A Short History of Myth'' supports the thesis that farming—the union of sky and earth—represented sex and seeds represent semen. This made tenth grade English very fun.
* At the main entrance to Converse College, an all-women's school in Spartanburg, SC, is a [http://s3.amazonaws.com/findagrave/photos/2001/258/440_1000655378.jpg monument to the founder], a Mr. Dexter Edgar Converse.

* That thing up top? Yeah, it's not a Photoshop, that's an actual artillery sound suppressor. The sides are expansion chambers for the sideways blast from the muzzle brake.
** It was built and used at a German artillery training site, simply because the nearby villagers where annoyed from the sound. The unit was dissolved, rendering these obsolete and probably scrapped already. It reduced the sound by about 20Db.
