i can totally relate to this post. i am always seeing the shapes of countries and continents in the world around me. although i think #15 looks more like a backwards croatia than new zealand.
even weirder is when i start seeing the outlines of countries or continents in maps of other things. wisconsin sideways looks a little bit like australia (though i've never thought that australia sideways looks much like wisconsin). also, i've long thought that illinois looks a lot like sudan. when i lived in chicago i briefly considered telling people that i lived in port sudan. but i dropped the idea because no one would know what the hell i was talking about.
