Google Maps - take a look

You want weird?  Check out this fake airport at Edwards AFB:

34.953774,-117.871631

That is not fake. I have been there...that is where the Space Shuttle lands... The compass is for the Shuttle orientation.

The landing strip is a dried up lake bed.

My brother is in the USAF and was stationed at Edwards for 5 years.

That's awesome, thanks for explaining it!

Now explain why Groom Lake in area 51 has the same type of strip on it  ;D

Subject: Someone at google has a sense of humour...


You absolutely MUST  try this!

1.          Go to www.google.com

2.        Type in "Failure", without the quotes

3.        Instead of hitting "Search" hit "I'm feeling Lucky"

4.        Look at it and laugh at what comes up

5.        Tell your friends before the people at Google fix it

Is this shocking or what.....

Thanx George I owe you one...

What happens with the "failure" request is something called google bombing. Try doing the same with "French Military Victories", and see what happens.

Try this one

44 °27'10.16"N  3 ° 0'9.95"E

Then spin the view so that West is to the top.  What do you see?  ;D

A little patch of trees that somewhat resembles one of those little Yorshire Terrier things that would kill my dog by getting stuck in it's throat??

I was seeing Kermit the Frog.

I was seeing Kermit the Frog.

OK. I have gone there again...and I have seen what you have seen. I didn't spin to the West enough to pick up on the Kermit likeness the first time!! I stand corrected.  :'(
