Wanna give us another one?

Not especially. That was about all I could come up with on short notice, since the people who run these satellites don't care to give us high-res images of terribly important places, like a little marker about two miles north of Lebanon, Kansas. I'd come up with one now, but I have to go out and get egg rolls and such.

How were the eggrolls?

Good, thank you. In any event, I've found Google Maps and Google Earth to be fairly lacking in various respects, and so I had to go to the enemy, Yahoo, because Google has this thing about not mapping outside of proper civilization. Here's the graphic:



Yes, I'm aware that it's tiny, and so here's a series of clues:

• Note the graphic's title so you know what you're looking at, because, yes, it's fuzzy.
• In the surrounding area are a couple of generals, a couple of senators, a few governors, and some various memorials.
• Despite what logic might dictate, you will not find Maude Flanders here.

So, what are we looking at, here?

Holy mother of god. I thought I was bad. Help a brother out!

Very well.

• As the graphic says, it is a tomb, and there are only thirty-nine others of its like.
• Despite what logic might dictate, you will not find Maude Flanders in this cemetery.

Indeed it is Lincoln's Tomb, at the Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. Also, going from the title of the picture, googling the number 66000330 (as noted in the graphic's title) results in at least three references to the tomb on the first page of the search results, and it becomes pretty obvious when you disregard the German and other non-English language pages kicks back. Googling tomb 66000330 kicks back a whopping three results. That eight-digit number happens to be its identification number on the national register of historic places.

But, yeah, I threw the Maude Flanders one out there thinking that someone would come back in about ten minutes with the answer. Nice to see that it wasn't too obvious.

since AB hasn't named a new puzzle...here's my entry!

That's a grand canyon, isn't it?

In other news, I miss the control bar at the bottom of Google Earth.

chinee!

While researching this place, I was amused to see the apparent bridge that starts and stops in the middle of nowhere. It made me remember this game. So, let's kick this game off again!



Clue: Dat's alotta watta!

It's also the world's oldest lake (25 million years) and contains more water than all the Great Lakes combined.

I knew you'd get it. They are also going to attempt to collect samples of life from below 5,000 feet.


Very good. Your turn, Doctor Angelbaby.

Hoochie Koo!
