Rude schoolboy prank visible from space

BOYS WILL BE BOYS and just can't help indulging in tasteless graffiti. But, according to local newspaper the Southern Daily Echo, this time their japes are visible from space.

Lads at a Southampton school etched a 40-foot long penis into grass using weedkiller two years ago, the Echo said. And even though teachers at the school took a dim view of the jape and re-seeded the lawn, the evidence is still clearly visible.

The Echo report is here.

Not too far from Southampton at Cerne Abbas, can be found a rather larger but officially sanctioned piece of ancient graffiti - here. µ
