Around SBN: AEG To Purchase Spurs?

OT: For the Geography Wizards

by Wes Cox on Dec 15, 2006 11:19 PM CST

Can anyone tell where this is in the background? My first guess was maybe Sardinia but after checking a map I don't think that could be it.

Wow

What a question.

I'd say Japan.

And now all of the resources from America's oldest investment firm are available online. Dillon and Edwards on the Internet, at www.clownpenis.fart.

Nope

Looking at the peninsular shape at the southeast end, I thought "Kauai" ... then I saw a nearby land mass to the NE, so that can't be it.

Have no idea

We have no sense of scale and don't even know where north is. They're close enough where you can plainly make out rivers and stuff, so it could be just about any random island, I guess.

It's New Zealand

That's the North and South Island.

I looked at it in Google Earth

Because I'm such a dork sitting here on a Friday night with nothing better to do.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure you're right. It's weird how different it looks, but yeah, I can see it.

Wow

Is that a real, unretouched image?

Why do they appear closer to Earth than other space shots?
