KFC were not the first to have their logo seen from space, there are several more visible on google earth


This one, 3.2km long and written in concrete in the Australian outback by road builders in 1965 was even in the Guinness Book of Records.

And this one 0.6km long created by planting 5,000 pine tries in 1937 in Indiana USA.

Firefox was actually found in a crashed UFO - it is alien technology. This explains how the Mozilla Foundation had such a crap browser then suddenly came up with Firefox overnight.
You see, this is why Microsoft is getting away with all these anti-trust lawsuits, the US Govt is slowing realising this alien threat and starting to support Microsoft.
Internet Explorer 7 is our only hope of saving mankind from these aliens and their superior technology... uhh ooh... We're all doomed!

Meanwhile in deepest Africa a new sub-species of human endeavour is evolving to eliminate the aliens and the creeping microsoft fungus. Can Ubuntu save the world Alan?

deecree is right, the readymix sign on the nullarbor exists on some maps as an aerial navigation aid.
