First Company Logo Visible From Space

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fast-food-for-aliens dept.

Albert Sandberg writes, "KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) has created the first logo that is visible from space. The construction was made by 65,000 1x1-foot tiles and covers about 2 acres. The logo was built and assembled over about a month and is located in the Nevada desert near Area 51. The article also has a short video showing the construction in time-lapse. Now the aliens know where to get their slimy food :-)"

    It's interesting that dictionary.com says libertine means sexually free OR free of religion, as though the two are interchangeable.

    On the Kansas Turnpike (this was in the 1970's), Howard Johnson's had a monopoly on restaurants "in" the turnpike. If you wanted to eat, sleep, or get gas without paying to get off the turnpike, you had to do it at a Howard Johnson's. Their takeout food was called HoJo's ToGo.
