A woman was left stunned after a stroll on the beach when she found a shell that looked just like Osama bin Laden.
Debra Oliver found the distinctive-looking shell on Winchelsea Beach in East Sussex, England.
The 60-year-old was “drawn to the curious-looking” find as she went for a walk while celebrating her 42nd wedding anniversary with her husband, Martin, 62.
Legal secretary Debra realized the shell, thought to be from an oyster, bore an uncanny resemblance to the al Qaeda terrorist, then “fell apart laughing” and kept it “as a little memento.”
“It’s not that often you find a seashell that looks like anyone at all, so finding Osama bin Laden was amazing. We’d all gone for a walk on the beach, which is covered in millions and millions of shells and pebbles,” said Oliver, of Brentsford, west London. “I was drawn to this curious-looking shell, and went to pick it up.
“When I looked at it properly up close, I thought it looked like Jesus. I then saw a turban on the top, and realized who was staring up at me in the palm of my hand — Osama bin Laden. Funny that — as he was buried at sea too,” she added.
Though 9/11 perpetrator bin Laden hit the top spot, others thought the seashell resembled ex-Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Khomeini.
