Is Google covering up Atlantis?

Last week during a slow news day, it was reported that a man in England found what appeared to be a grid-like network of roads on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean using the latest version of Google Maps. Naturally he immediately assumed he had found the lost continent of Atlantis, and alerted the appropriate authority, which in England is apparently the Telegraph.

One thing you’ll notice if you look at this on Google Maps yourself is that the area is huge, and actually pretty easy to spot. I’m serious, go see for yourself. Unlike those stories where Google Earth was used to find ancient Roman villas or undisturbed forests, and involved someone with multiple Ph.D.s sitting hunched over a computer for days on end, this “Atlantis” can easily be spotted by a half wit with four or five beers in him (That’s a pretty fair description of most English, actually).

The fact that it’s so easy to spot suggests to me that it might not be terribly unique. In fact, after a couple minutes of scrolling around the world, I’ve found similar straight line/right angle combinations off the coast of Ireland, in Hudson’s Bay and a little northeast of Siberia. Which means that the Atlantians were either prolific road builders and I just became the world’s most incredible oceanographer, or that I have found absolutely nothing, and remain the idiot that genetics and past history say I am and always shall be.

So what to make of these lines then? Well, in the original Telegraph article, the reporter managed to get a quote from an Atlantis expert, but didn’t bother talking too an actual oceanographer, or you know, Google. In fact, when someone did eventually get around to calling them, a Google spokesperson squashed the story. They stated,

“Bathymetric (or seafloor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the seafloor. The lines reflect the path of the boat as it gathers the data.”

Which sounds relatively convincing, in the same way that it sort of made sense when Geordi LeForge inverted the polarity of the subspace wheezit to get the Enterprise out of another inadvertent-holodeck-sentience related jam. As a web comedian, I’m marginally underqualified to analyze the scientific merits of Google’s explanation. What I am qualified to do though is express disappointment that Google didn’t try and string this along for awhile, and see how this played out. You know, act all mysterious for a couple months, or at least until a few lunatics drown in the Atlantic in homemade diving rigs. By clarifying this issue so rapidly, Google may have been acting in an ethically and scientifically responsible manner, but they really shit in the cornflakes of a good potential prank on conspiracy nuts.

Here then is how I would have strung along the world for a few days, provided I was in some sort of position of authority at Google. Senior VP of Jerking Around The Rubes perhaps.

__

1) Quickly replace this section of the map with a version that’s digitally manipulated to reveal no grid like lines. Deny the published images are real. Blame it on overactive imaginations and Photoshop trickery.

2) Adjust the search results for “Atlantis” to prefer sources that downplay any historical basis for Atlantis. Edit Wikipedia liberally with the same intention, leaving Google IP addresses in the logs.

3) Change every font on Google to unreadable and ancient looking glyphs for a few hours. Nautical themed if possible. Seaweed and tridents and whatnot.

4) Quietly funnel billions of dollars into research on artificial gills. When this information leaks, issue a public statement denying the allegations. Be sure to unnecessarily confirm your allegiance to the “dirtwalking government of the United States.”

5) Find an old bomb siren and install it on the roof of Google HQ. Set it off one day, and have everyone rush outside to the front lawn in a panic and start building an Ark.

6) For the suspect region, at the maximum zoom level, replace the “we don’t have imagery at this zoom level” error message with this:

Watch Miguel Cotto Vs. Michael Jennings Live Stream

Watch the Live Stream Fight at The Live Streaming Channel.

Miguel Cotto will be returning to the ring February ‘09 after suffering his fist lost by TKO to reigning champion Antonio Margirito. Many were in question to who would be Cotto’s next opponent after the defeat, and now that question may be answered.

After coming up short to a rematch with Antonio Margirito, Cotto had to seek other opponents. The question is who? Was it going to be an opponent that was going to attract star points and big money? Or would they pick a fighter that is considered a safe opponent and confidence booster?

Either way because of his status and background it couldn’t be a meaningless battle it needs to be someone that can build confidence, and recognition.

Cotto’s camp is jumping on the opportunity that Miguel Cotto still has a big name and fan base even thou he lost his title. They’re going after the vacant WBO Welterweight title that was vacated by former champion Paul Williams. This will give the former champion Cotto the chance to become a champion and build the self-esteem he may have lost from his last time in the ring.

Top 10 Essential Facts About ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’

Watch the Full Trailer Here.

You know the claws. You know the rage. And you know the sideburns. But there is a lot about Marvel Comics’ mutant superhero Wolverine that you might not know. So here are ten facts you should know before you see “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” the upcoming prequel that sheds light on his mysterious past. And to see Hugh Jackman back in action, you can skip down to watch three exclusive TV spots from the movie.

1. Wolverine wasn’t in the original line-up of Marvel Comics’ “X-Men” that was created by Stan Lee in the 1960s. He first appeared as an adversary to The Incredible Hulk, and was brought into the X-Men when the series was restarted in 1975.

2. Co-creator Len Wein’s original idea was that the character was actually a wolverine cub that was mutated into human form. He also intended for Wolverine’s signature claws to extend from his gloves, not from his body. But these ideas were dropped when new writer Chris Claremont took over the series.

3. Wolverine was originally a supporting character, with the focus of the X-Men stories mostly on team leader Cyclops. But he quickly became a fan favorite, and he got his own solo series in the ’80s. Last year, Wizard Magazine ranked him at #1 in their “Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time” list.

4. Troye Sivan as Young Logan Logan’s backstory was mostly kept hidden for the first 25 years of his existence. Finally in 2001, Marvel released the six-issue series “Origin” which told Logan’s life story. Born in Canada in the 1800s, James Howlett discovered his mutant powers (and claws of bone that pop out of his hands) after a family tragedy. This story is the jumping off point for the new movie.

5. Russell Crowe was director Bryan Singer’s first choice to play Wolverine in the first “X-Men” movie, but his asking price was too high. Scottish actor Dougray Scott was then cast, but he dropped out when filming went long on “Mission: Impossible 2.” Hugh Jackman stepped into the role two weeks into filming, and at 6′2″, he stands about a foot taller than how Wolverine is depicted in the comics.

6. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine Around 700 pairs of Wolverine claws were constructed for the original X-Men movie. They were made of metal for close-ups, plastic for longer shots, and rubber for stunts. Each pair were specially fitted for Jackman or the stuntman who wore them. The special effects crew also made a replica of Jackman’s arm so that the claws could physically pop out without digital effects.

7. “X-Men: The Last Stand” was the final movie with the original lineup of characters, but more X-movies are in the works. “Wolverine” is intended to launch not only a series of solo movies for Jackman, but also the “Origins” franchise. Currently in the works is “Magneto,” exploring the backstory of the villain. Also, “Gossip Girl” creator Josh Schwartz is writing “X-Men: First Class,” about the teenage students of Professor X’s school.

8. Taylor Kitsch as Gambit “Wolverine” introduces some new mutants that will be played by some fresh faces. One is long-time fan favorite, Gambit, a mutant who can energize objects into explosive weapons. He’ll be played by Taylor Kitsch, star of TV’s “Friday Night Lights.” It’s the biggest movie role yet from the Canadian hockey player-turned-actor, who previously appeared in “The Covenant” and “Snakes on a Plane.”

9. TDaniel Henney as Agent Zero The new movie will also introduce audiences to Daniel Henney, an American-born actor who has become an enormous star in South Korea. He broke out in the TV drama, “My Name Is Kim Sam-Soon,” a show so popular over half the country tuned in for the series finale. In “Wolverine” he plays Agent Zero, a government operative who is part of the Weapon X program that gives Logan his metallic skeleton.

10. Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth Some more familiar names popping up in the new movie include Liev Schreiber, who put on 40 pounds of muscle to play the menacing Sabretooth. Ryan Reynolds appears as Deadpool, a mutant mercenary who may get his own movie in the future. Dominic Monaghan plays Bolt, who manipulates energy, and will.i.am has his acting debut as the teleporting Wraith. One face you know but won’t recognize is Kevin Durand, who was the evil soldier Keamy on “Lost” last season. He is unrecognizable under piles of makeup as the immovable villain, The Blob (but you’ll see him in flashbacks).

“X-Men Origins: Wolverine” will kick off this year’s summer movie season when it rides into theaters on May 1st.
