Wildfire does some archaeological work
|
If they had've been smart they could've put a matching sign on Holyhad and watched the pilots fly in circles thinking they were flying in circles.
I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed. One day they're going to ban them. 
So that thing my teachers told me about nations not actually being labelled on the ground like they are on a map was a lie too, huh?
No, just a generalization.

Considering the use of aerial photos of parch marks due to drought to find buried ruins on Time Team, it seems that disasters can make archaeology easier. Not a good reason to want more of them, however.
In 1978, a wiseacre in Milwaukee decided to add an extra touch of confusion for passengers on planes about to land at Mitchell Field. On the roof of his studio near the airport approach, he painted in large block letters the friendly message Welcome to Cleveland.
----- Considering that one dictionary definition of "carry on" is to "behave or speak in a foolish, excited, or improper manner," the designers of that famous poster, "Keep Calm and Carry On," need to make up their flippin' minds!

The linked article has a recent (2015) photo of it, and mentions that he repaints it every six years or so.
