Atlantis: Discovered at Last?

Henry G. writes "The BBC is reporting that recent satellite pictures may show the location of the fabled city of Atlantis, as described by Plato. It is in Southern Spain, though, and not on an island as is commonly believed. Here's an image of the concentric rings over the alleged area." This story has gotten a lot of submissions; it's worth noting that it's also shown up off Cyprus, or near Cuba, or is Crete, or... It is worth noting that that Ubar was found this way.

    I can't make out rings nor rectangles in that
    picture. But I clearly see a big cache of WMD in the lower left corner.

    This is slashdot, what your seeing is Microsofts secret underwater HQ; looking closer through the skylight of the ballroom you can just make out Bill Gates having tea with several of his puppet CEO's that will be in charge after "regime change" at some unnamed pro-linux companies. Over to the left you can see the 2000 box cluster of G4's running the beta of Longhorn, and on the screen you can almost see what his word document says, but the 5 new Clippy wizards are obscuring too much text.
