So, number 3 was the only fake in the bunch.
The loony number 3 was actually from one of the advanced photoshop contests at Worth 1000. Worth 1000 has all kinds of cool photoshop contests (Bizarrchitecture being the best of course) but they also have a funny stuff like, “Meet the Beatles,” and “Celebrity Mix-Ups.”
