World’s Largest Bug

Wednesday, 22nd March 2006 by James

At 58 feet long and 928 times the size of an actual termite, Nibbles Woodaway (as he was named in a radio competition) is the world’s largest bug.

The giant creepy crawly is attached to the roof of New England Pest Control and is dressed up in seasonal gear for July 4th, Halloween and Christmas.

Ground-level photos, and more information than you could ever care to read, on Quahog.org.

McCoy Stadium, Pawtucket

Home to the AAA affiliate of the Boston Red Sox (the Pawtucket Red Sox or “PawSox”) is McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Leo Caisse says

It looks like the photo was taken during a game since the parking lots are full and the exposed bleachers on the third-base side appear to be full.

Escobar’s Dairy Farm

Monday, 25th April 2005 by James

Another corn maze this time at Escobar’s Dairy Farm, Rhode Island. I’ve rotated the maze for the thumbnail and you should be able to make out a lighthouse with “Escobar” in the beam, some rocks and a sailboat (which seems dangerously close to those rocks).
