I'll admit it: I'm a terrible nerd.
I don't play World of Warcraft nor do I know how to speak Klingon. I don't know any computer programing code and I wouldn't know how to hack my way out of a paper bag. In fact I am so bad at being a nerd, I just now downloaded Google Earth. I know, I know, there is no excuse for that kind of behavior.
Now for those of you who don't already have this little piece of search-engine goodness, I strongly urge you to start screwing around with it right now because it really is a tremendous amount of fun. Think of it as a free globe you download and then interact with in an kind of dimension you want.
The really cool part is that Google has pretty much mapped out everything you can think of. Yeah sure the 3D viewer is crazy fun and dropping in on random locations is cheaper than a vacation, but then you start to find some really wacky shit like this.
That was found off the West coast of Africa last week. You can imagine that a lot of people were scratching their heads on that one and sure enough posts started to pop-up claiming that this series of lines is, in fact, the lost city of Atlantis.
Yes, Atlantis, the city of myth, legend, mermaids, and probably where all my fucking socks keep going.
Of course Google being the corporate dream killers that they are (Thank you Google for hosting my blog) put out a statement saying that its merely a glitch from the data collection process and that there really isn't anything there. They then added, "So stop asking so many damn questions and go back to arguing if Greedo shot first you crazy nerds!"
Personally I don't buy it. If its not a lost city then it has to be something else. I've got my bet on Google building an underwater theme park for anyone in the world who still has money in the bank....or anyone who still has a bank for that matter.. Its either that or they are constructing Dick Cheney's fortress of solitude. I'll let you be the judge.

I like your spirit and your post very much. But dude, that is a computer glitch. We all know Atlantis was actually in the Mediteranian and was buried after a huge volcano and flood. Cheney's fortress of solitude, is in his home state of Wyoming. The least populated state in the country.
ReplyDeleteI love this post. You had me thinking it COULD be a lost city (for a second). I absolutely love your humor. The visual you provided was excellent. It made it easier for readers to know exactly what you were talking about.
