Offensive Ponds
Tuesday, 9th September 2008 by Alex Turnbull
Is that... the word "SLUT" carved into the ground of Nova Scotia?
On closer examination it becomes clear that the "S" is actually a tree shadow - but the remaining letters look to be formed by the shapes of three small ponds.
Since "LUT" doesn't make a lot of sense, what if the "L" were actually a "C"? Why on Earth would anyone have built three ponds in the shape of the letters of the word "CUT"?

Just a quick note Wikipedia says: “Lut (circa 1781 BC – 1638 BC?[1] [2]), (Arabic: لوط ) was a prophet mentioned in the Qur’an and known as Lot in the Bible.”
Comparing the letter line widths of the U and the T with the “C”, I think the C is actually a square “O” whose center has drifted northeast. Ergo, “OUT”.
No, I don’t know why it would say that, either. Unless there’s an “IN” written somewhere.
I meant southwest, obviously. Curse your clever rotation trick.
Keith your right out is also a pretty good possibility there is another rectangle pond a ways north that looks like it could have been an “I” from “IN” but nothing that looks like an N.
I suggest we all start looking for a similar “PASTE” pond-formation somewhere on the globe.
looks like the word OUT
Well, you could all just be projecting language recognition onto a number of small man made lakes designed to give the maximum area for fishermen to sit and dangle their rods in the water, and not to spell out a word…?
Nah Ben, that’s no fun.
It’s out I think. Now we need the in, and the shake it all about.
Actually, the left arm of the T isn’t pond; it looks to me like it’s trees. Now we’re really reaching to make that a word.
The word is supposed to be LUTZ, the name of the man who owns the land, the last pond has not been dug yet. It apears to me that a bunch of people are just looking for problems
