Link goes to the results of a 'find the black helicopter' contest run by the Register. Lots of pics of neat things people have found.

Mine's not even a block

[itburnswhenipee]

Man... I live in the fucking boonies. It's like four miles to the closest actual liquor store. AND they don't take credit cards for hard liquor. It's gotta be cash. Fuckin ohio.

That takes me to Graeter's :drool:

Is it just me, or is there something Escheresque about that photo. The perspective on that building at the right end of the red line seems a little wonky.
