Happy Friday 13th!
Well, I've just spent a happy morning skipping puddles with skribe on the way to work. Maybe May has finally worked out which season it is. Maybe not, considering the sun blazing through the window now.
This past week has had some interesting morning experiences. I've had the great good fortune to witness Tori Amos dribbling throughout her performance on Sunrise, which - if nothing else - proves she wasn't lip-synching. Good to see an artist with real talent and passion on fluffy morning television.
Then there was Derryn Hinch's no-show on the Bert Newton's Advertorial Program. That was worth catching a later bus for.
I noticed, too, that they've replaced the Darth Vader poster on the billboard at Barrack and Wellington, which had been ripped down for the past couple of days. The Revenge of the Disgruntled Fan, perhaps?
And of course this morning also sees a rather soggy protest at the Supreme Court Gardens by the Falun Gong activists. The Anti-Torture Demonstration probably won't go too well. Drip. Drip. Drip. AAAARGGH!
And for those who're finding it hard to concentrate (ahem) on this gloriously damp Friday the 13th, check out this Odd Satellite Map Image from Google. You can move around the map and zoom in!
Is it:
A. Alien Landing Strip;
B. Air Force Aerial Bombing Target;
C. Google Copyright Infringement Trap; or
D. Just Another Photoshopped Hoax?

Green spots are irrigated circles, I believe - Saudi Arabia's full of them. I've found another couple of sets of concentric rings more or less south of the triangle (but don't quote my direction sense). One of them is in a white patch which might be a salt lake. They're remarkably hard to see if you zoom out only a little. My bet's on some sort of aerial targeting aid, since they're clearly designed to be viewed from on high.
Could Area 51 be close by? :)
