Post-It

Tuesday, 18th October 2005 by Alex

Well this is getting ridiculous… First we had drawing-pins, then scotch tape, and then even more scotch tape. And now? A giant post-it note in Thailand.

Told you it was ridiculous.

Thanks to DC.

    I’m terribley sorry! Oh this is embarrassing. I know it will only sound like I am making excuses, but you have no idea how difficult it can be finding competent help these days…

    It’s also on Google Earth, has some strange markings on it (two rows of evenly spaced tick marks) and casts a shadow. Could this be some kind of metal roof? A chicken farm, perhaps?

    I do enjoy the fjords of Norway however.

    I see four rows of evenly spaced tick marks on Google Earth. I would agree that this is not a post-it (even though it is just the right color and shape).

    And the placement of it also indicates it’s a roof of some kind. It’s perfectly in line with the properly sized yard in front of it. A farm of some type is certainly a good possibility. . .

    As for fjords, as long as they don’t put them on the coast of africa they’re beautiful!

    Could it be possible they’re hiding something? It still look like a Post-it, even on Google Earth!

    Just a thought…
