More Puerile Roof Art

Actually, you could barely call this childish scrawl on the roof of a French University “art” (stop sniggering).

By my calculations (yes, I measured), at around 7.7 metres this is actually the smallest of the penises so far found on Google Earth. Slightly smaller than the English School roof one (7.9 metres), a bit smaller than the Cerne Abbas Giant’s 8.3 metre member, and completely dwarfed by the massive 53.4 metre phallus etched into this frozen lake in Connecticut.

However at 7.98 metres across, I’m pretty sure this qualifies as the world’s largest drawing of an arse.

Thanks to Arno and Eric.

    I’m wondering if we’re the only civilization in the universe that puts simple illustrations of genitals on rooftops…

    Who says it’s an arse? Could be a loaf of bread. Or, another ballsac.

    Here is a penis formed building in Iceland Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth This is Smáralind, the biggest mall in Iceland. The floor decorations are sperm cells, so it was built like a penis and this one is 288,77 meters.

  6. Patrick says:

    uhm, wouldn’t that also be the ONLY mall in Iceland? Just askin.

  7. Baddinn says:

    No, There are many other malls in Iceland. But there is only one other that is that big. The other ones are much smaller.

    Here is the second biggest one: Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth

    It’s been a while since I visited you guys (life got in the way) but it only took me 3 posts to find a spelling mistake (life is good for me!). “chilidish”? I do so believe you meant “childish.” And the misspelling is actually in the link! teehee. I will try to visit more regularly, but I promise not to point things out unless it’s really necessary. :)

    Thanks SpedAngel, good to have you back! However, some people’s feed readers (Google Reader for example) apparently treat each edit as an entirely new post – so we’re going to try to keep edits to a minimum in future.

    However the thought of leaving typos in there gives me pains!
