Some of those are fake. At least 3 of them.

According to Snopes, at least two of the houses shown in the original collection have been digitally manipulated.

The site itself has links posted yesterday showing that some of these are faked. What more proof do you need?

Game set and match to the non-Pirates again.

Conflicting answers here...1st we started with 3 being fake, then there were 2. Perhaps we will be down to 1 soon?

Note....I didn't take the pics, so there is no point getting knickers in a twist
