Liberty Island is the island home of the Statue of Liberty.

Heh, this is hilarious - Percy's pictures are all basically the first things I looked up when I discovered Google maps, too.

Anyone know how to find out when the sat images were taken

I googlemapped the apartment and town I used to live in; just north of my apartment I saw the big development project that included a Target and a minimall. The status of construction informed me that that particular image was from October of 2003.

Obviously some of the images are newer or older than that; there's no one date for all the images but I doubt many are older than a few years.

Re: Exploring New Territory

They're just there. Drag yourself over somewhere in the world and zoom. Hi-rez maps of Paris and London, for sure. Haven't checked much else (couldn't think of anything that would look good from space. I don't know enough to tell the Great Wall of China from a major road.)

Re: How 'bout this guy?

Yep. Showin' yer age, crash!

Oh? How old do you think I am, exactly?

Here's what happened in my mind: "Hrm, a cartoonish stereotype of a mexican. It's not one I've ever seen, so it must be one that someone found offensive. Hey, don't I keep hearing about how the 'Frito Bandito' infuriated the hispanic communities?"

Seriously. Didn't even look it up to compare or anything. Just deduced. I'm all Sherlock and shit.
