The other day I was jogging around my neighborhood, and I noticed someone had painted a Ferrari on their driveway. It was a top view as if you're looking down on the car, and I could tell it was a Ferrari Testarossa because in my younger days I used to own a car detailing business. At first I laughed, and I could not help myself, I had asked the guy what the deal was;
"What's with the Top of the Ferrari Painted on Top of Your Driveway" I asked; as he was washing his Volkswagen on the other side of the driveway.
He told me that he had the Ferrari painted that way he could fool Google Earth and his friends would think he was cool and get a laugh out of it. In other words, the satellite would show a Ferrari in his driveway, and then I noted under all the soapy suds from the car he was washing, that there was another top of the car painted on that side of the driveway too.
So I asked him; "what kind of car is that?" And he told me; "oh, that's my wife's new Mercedes!"
Indeed, all I said was; "hmm, interesting, have a nice day I need to finish my workout, unless you can paint muscles on my body, and paint off an extra 10 pounds?" We both laughed, and I was on my way. While I was jogging, I thought of all the many applications for such a scheme. Such as, Saddam Hussein would probably want to paint weapons of mass distraction on the concrete to fool the spy satellites.
Then I thought, he probably has a pool painted in his backyard, and he's going to be very upset when the County tax assessor uses a satellite and sees that he does not have a permission for that paint job on his lawn, and doly charges have another $ 10,000 on his property taxes. Please consider all this.
