2 February 2007: A Highly Visible Prank

In 2005 two year 11 pupils from Bellemoor School for Boys in Southampton, Hampshire, used weed killer to burn a 20ft image of a phallus into their school lawn as an end of term joke.

Staff at the school quickly re-seeded the area, but the giant 'object' has now turned up on some satellite image search engines because the satellite photo was taken before the new grass could conceal the appendage.

SaintFM would like to point out that, purely in the interests of research, it has examined the area closely on Google Earth and - sadly - can see nothing to report, but notes that the Google Earth satellite image appears to be very recent.
