This is the fantastic
Cerne Abbas Giant, a 55 metre (180 foot) high chalk figure
carved into a hillside near the village of Cerne Abbas, England. In
his right hand the giant holds a 36.5 metre long club, and of
course it’s impossible to miss that the Cerne Abbas Giant is, uh..
giant in every way.

Like many chalk figures carved into the English countryside, the
Cerne Abbas giant is often thought of as an ancient creation -
however, its history can’t actually be traced back further than the
late 17th century - making it (a relatively sprightly) 400 years
old.
As for the Giant’s purpose, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerne_Abbas_giant Wikipedia
says:
for hundreds of years it was local custom to erect a maypole
within the earthwork about which childless couples would dance to
promote fertility and even today childless couples are
known to visit the site in order to copulate in the hope
that they might have a child.
Now that would have been an interesting
find!

It would seem that someone has spent a lot of time and money to
create this lake, in the shape of
an extremely happy looking man! I’m not sure what he’s got to
be so happy about though. I mean, this guy’s manhood isn’t a patch
on the
Cerne Abbas Giant

Anyway, I haven’t got the slightest clue why somebody went to
all this effort. Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks to whoever http://www.moillusions.com/2007/04/man-shaped-lake-illusion.html
these guys got this location from in the first place (they seem
to have a bad habit of neglecting to include any attribution you

It looks like there’s a massive toxic bug in Yorkshire! Run for
the hills!
On closer inspection I’d say that a massive toxic bug has been
squashed on Yorkshire. Come back from the hills and help
clean this mess up.

A previous
bug in Google Earth was swiftly fixed by the development team.
Perhaps I should file a http://earth.google.com/support/ bug report?
Thanks: Ben

Yes people, there really is an
absolutely enormous seal in The Hague, Netherlands. Apparently
http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw/general/default.aspx?oid=130317 it
belongs to the International Fund for Animal Welfare, and
presumably it’s designed to so utterly terrify the seal
hunters that they’re unable to ever again harm another seal
pup…

However that doesn’t explain why someone else in the Hague has
another#fn:1″ rel=”footnote 1
gigantic seal
in their back garden! I’m thinking guard dog. Erm… guard
seal.

I refuse to believe this could be the same giant seal. I mean,
how would they breed? #fnref:1″
