Since the Italians sold it to cover the cost of switching from lira to euros. :D

Wife got 14/16

Was it just me or was that NYC pic really weird-looking? All the buildings seemed to be going off at different angles. It was bizarre. Was that a composite or something?

I missed Bush's Crawford Ranch, the Alamo (I focused on the spot in the middle and missed the Alamo), and Wrigley Field (meh).

14. Missed the Alamo, never realized there were so many buildings around it. The history books made it sound like it was out in the middle of nowhere.

Also missed the beach one...

13/16. The Alamo, Leaning Tower of Piza & Space Needle threw me off a bit. The shot of Wrigley Field bought back good memories of Addison & Clark streets.

13 out of 16 correct. Missed Bush's ranch (does that really qualify as a "landmark"?), Copa Cabana Beach (hey! at least I knew it was a beach!), and the Alamo.

Now, what I want to know is, will anyone fess up to having gotten the Pentagon wrong? I mean, no offense, but how thick would you have to be not to recognize that!?!

14/16. I would have done better if I had read through the thread and gotten some hints. I missed the alamo and wrigley field.

I chuckled when I read that as well :)

16/16, but Copa Cabana Beach and Wrigley Field were straight up guesses.

Been checking out Google maps of Seattle or I may have missed that one as well.

Leaning Tower of Pisa. The tower looked like it was leaning, but I thought it was just orthorectification (awesome word. Didn't know that one till this thread). I thought they were trying to pull a fast one.

Go to google maps, and type in "The Alamo". It should find it:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=the+alamo&ie=UTF8&ll=29.425516,-98.485141&spn=0.003294,0.005021&t=h&z=18&om=0

::edit:: I've never been, but I believe it's the building in the center of that block, with the grassy area to the west and facing "Alamo Plaza"

15/16. Missed the Space Needdle. I didn't even see is as an answer. I saw Stratosphere & figured that was is.

Guessed right on two others.
