Ontario hospital's questionable shape has the internet abuzz

In a too-good-to-not-be-true manner, an Ontario-area hospital is making a splash online for its incredible aerial appearance.

Pull up your maps app and take a look at the Newmarket Health Centre to gaze upon a man-shaped building — complete with all appendages.

With arms (and legs) open to those in York Region looking for care, the Newmarket Health Centre's (NHC) shockingly accurate dic-piction has the internet in stitches.

Subreddit r/toronto has been kicking up Grade-A cracks about the overtly phallic structural appendage, proving that a good old D-joke is never not hilarious, nor in bad taste.

Dozens have chimed in with jokes, like one Redditor who wrote, "It would look great with a water feature."

hospitalLocated at 194 Eagle Street, roughly an hour's drive from the city, NHC search engine results bring up many possible culprits, including a fertility clinic, while the provincial government also lists a long-term care home onsite.

Get up close and personal with the aerial and street view options, where at the very tip of the NHC sits a perfectly placed pink patio or a similar-shaped building, even more questionable.

Clearly a worldwide phenomenon, comments and Google reviews show other users intrigued by the architectural feat, admitting they ventured over just to confirm its uncanny shape.

In the need for a five-second reprieve from the horrors of life? Then 194 Eagle Street is the next stop for you!
