Students Use Weed-Killer To Etch Giant Penis Into School Lawn - Image Shows Up On Google Earth

[matcom]

<snip>

Two pupils who used weed killer to draw a giant penis on their school lawn can now see the naughty image from satellite photos posted on the internet.

The unnamed pair of Year 11 pupils from Bellemoor School for Boys in Southampton, Hampshire, burnt the 20ft phallus into the grass as an end of term joke two years ago.

Staff at the school re-seeded the area but the penis has turned up on satellite image search engines because the photo was taken before the new grass could conceal the appendage.

Staff, parents and pupils who log on can now see the image in all its glory.

The satellite image can be seen on Microsoft Virtual Earth.

A spokeswoman for the school said: "It was just one of those high school jinks.

"This was an act of vandalism that took place during the summer of 2005. Southampton City Council re-seeded the area and the grass was re-grown by the beginning of the new school term."

6. Some guys I knew in HS built a snow penis one day

Our school had an (outdoor) commons area that were within the walls of the school.

They had to haul snow up over the outside wall, climb over the wall, build the penis - about 6 feet tall.

They did it at night. The admin didn't catch it until hundreds of students had already arrived the following day.
