Google Challenges

After a chat with Jesse last night, there are a few google challenges using Google Earth that You can partake in:)

1) Find the great wall. (of china la. Not pakistan)
Jesse maintains that THIS is the great wall. I disagree.

I'm using Google earth and according to this website, the great wall circles SHIZUISHAN. Which i found on Google Earth, but I can't find a trace of the great wall. Humbug. So much for the largest man made structure on planet Earth.

2) Find Area 51, where Aliens stay.

If you're tired of looking, here is it.

3) And this is a picture of some Nazi loving architect in San Diego.

Ahhh the wonders of Technology. I've seen the Eiffel Tower, Visited Ground Zero in Manhatten, Cruised the grand Canyon via the Colorado River, Visited Tiananmen, Mount St. Helens and Moscow's Red Square, w/o leaving my bedroom.

I wuv Google.

Time to buy google stock.

I was under the impression that Area 51 is not in Alamo, Nevada but somewhere near Roswell, New Mexico. But I could be wrong. After all, it is classified information.

hmm, area 51 is actually a U2 spy-plane research facility used in the cold war, and the whole "UFO research thing" is either fact or rumour. is that why it's all white? It's in nevada. more likely, i think there's a lot of nukes in there.

roswell is another area associated with UFO's, because it was purported that one crashed there and the us government took them back to do science experiments. But because they hadn't a lab in the desert yet the corpses were removed to somewhere in Ohio.
