Beer Steak Bullshit

Google is watching you in more ways than one. It is no secret that Google is the biggest repository of people’s online behaviors. If you have used Google but once on your computer, a cookie has been nested in it that tracks everything you do on line and every track of it is stored in Google databases. It gets far worse if you use Google toolbar and further worsens if you agreed for Google History to store your own data for yourself to see. But Google is watching you in more ways than by just tracking your activities on line.

As satellite technology improves, Google Maps views of our planes from space get more detailed. Then you have Google Street View with pictures taken by cameras mounted on cars and trikes riding the streets of popular cities. Google claims that it respects people’s privacy and their software automatically blurs people’s faces and license plate numbers. While the idea of being able to see what streets you may wish to visit look like, there is also an idea of one of those Google tricycles may capture your precious ass in an awkward moment and pictures of it will be all over Google. Imagine you get captured walking with toilet paper stuck to your shoe or vomiting after a good night out. Blurring my face my ass. Google is watching you and while there is a lot of convenience to being able to look up stuff, the inconvenience of being stripped of any and all privacy negates the purpose.

Oh, that cookie that Google embeds in your computer never quits and if you increase your computer’s security settings so it rejects cookies, all Google services quit functioning. You will get an error message appealing on your to enable cookies or else Google won’t provide any of their services. They want something in return for their “services”. They want to know everything about you. And given that Google are good buddies with CIA, this whole “Google is Watching You” phenomenon should make everyone feel uneasy. And rightly so.

If you get on Google Maps (or Google Earth) you may be able to find these rectangular shapes deep in the Atlantic Ocean. Could this be the greatest discovery made by stupid Google satellites? Could this be the discovery of the lost city of Atlantis? People were searching for Atlantis for centuries, we have had insane technology at our disposal for decades, were we all waiting for stupid Google Earth to eventually get the lost city of Atlantis discovered? Could it be this easy?

The rectangular shapes within Atlantic Ocean can be seen on Google Maps at 31 15′15.53N, 24 15′30.53W coordinates. It’s about 600 miles off western coast of Morocco, not too far from Canary Islands. You can use the embedded view of Atlantic Ocean to zoom in and out and see for yourself. Does this look like the lost city of Atlantis to you? It sure looks like rectangular shapes, something you don’t see at the bottom of an ocean. Geee, Google Maps must have discovered Atlantis, I swear.

According to Twitter (I’m straight hence I don’t use Twitter), term “Atlantis” has been the most sought for and most wrote about on Friday last week. Maybe it’s a key term to some new homosexual activity. Considering 99% of Twitter users are homos, it would make sense.

Google representative apparently popped the party bubble and destroyed all dreams of wannabe Atlantis discoverers by saying that those shapes at the bottom of Atlantic Ocean are “artifact of the data collection process” – come again? “Artifact of the data collection process”? What the fuck is the dude talking about? Does he use Twitter too?

Greek philosopher Plato described the lost city of Atlantis and according to experts (probably Twitter users) the location of rectangles at the bottom of Atlantic Ocean as pictures by Google maps is a possible site of the legendary island. According to Plato, Atlantis was an island larger than Libya and Asia famous for its wealth and advanced civilization.
