Pac-Man

Thursday, 9th March 2006 by James

Please note that some or all of the objects mentioned in this post are no longer visible on Google Earth or Google Maps.

It doesn’t get much nerdier than this: a Giant Pac-Man, complete with dots for him to eat, makes the ultimate crop circle.

We’re actually quite familiar with Pac-Man here at GGSS towers having seen him before in field irrigation and last year we took time off our busy schedules to create a Snow Pac-Man Level.

Even if you’re also familiar with Pac, I’d suggest a quick read of “Ghosts Vs. Monsters” on the Wikipedia page, hilarious!

Christopher Wallace sent in this fantastic submisison which has brightened my day considerably:

I was following the roads I take to get to college, and found what looks like an image of a barn and silos etched into a field a short distance northwest of Flemington, NJ

Anyone know the story behind this one?
