Clever….
February 28th, 2007 | Published in Web/Tech, Weird | 17 Comments
I was looking at Google Maps tonight (there’s a prize if you can guess what I was looking at) when I saw that massive Target sign. From way way up above you can still see it.
It’s obviously a Target store but I thought it was pretty neat that they bother painting a massive target on the top of their stores which hardly anyone will see. Either that or it’s a very clever way of getting their logo all over Google Maps.
Yay for Target anyway. I like them, and I hate Wal-Mart.

apparently there is a school somewhere that has a huge penis drawn on the roof of the gym, dunno where but if i find out i’ll keep you posted so you can check it on google earth. hope you don’t think it bold of me to assume that you would find this hilariously funny, the idea of it sets me off and i figure it may tickle you a bit too. also, how do i change my name when i post on your blog, the ‘paedo patrol’ thing was a one gag wonder, well that was the intention anyway, like. i don’t want to get a repuation or anything, plain ol’ gary watson would do just fine…
re the competition question, i think you were looking for the lakeside arena where they hold the annual world darts championship. yes, a cheque will be fine, thanks.

Yes I did hear about that penis thing.
To answer your questions….
1. I think you will appear ‘logged in’ when you leave a comment. Click logout beside it and just use a different name.
2. Unfortunately you are incorrect regarding the darts championships. The clue is in fact in the link!
Finally, I’m afraid the prize is not a cheque. It is a mystery gift with a value of approximately $10.

um. oxford university or some such ‘clever’ place? also, noticed you have a glen duncan book in your margin, is it good? been meaning to read more of his stuff, I, Lucifer is exeptional, Love Remains may fit the bill if you recommend it sir.

Nope, sadly it is not Oxford University. One clue is that they don’t have Target stores in the UK. The other really reveals itself if you click on the link / picture. No more clues! Maybe you and G can battle it out for the prize.
Love Remains I felt to be over-long and boring sorry. The Bullet Trick, on the other hand, has been very good!

Was it one of the things i mentioned?

No. I think the clue is on the Google map page dude. Like where the arrow is or something?

Nope. You guys would be useless at a treasure hunt. Click on the pic and look at the whole page. Think about what was searched for…. that is my last clue. Google is your friend.
