Hehe, all I can think of is the original Sim City, when you'd buy a landfill and plop it on your coast in this totally unnatural square.

In a billion years a new species will try to figure out how the coast extended so strangely.

Lake Arrowhead was created/built in it's current squiggley shape to maximize valuable coastline.

Maybe this is what the Nazca Lines were all about? ;)

Yes, but did you notice the shape isn't really so much "palm tree" shaped as, well....

More evidence of the depraved and decadent western influence. Osama will be attacking soon, I'm sure.
