Trompe L'Oeil painting on a crosswalk... designed to slow cars down. Bet it works, too!

They did give the itchy little bastard a crown... But you are right. Those bloodsuckers... and the diseases they transmit... are nasty.

And let's not forget fu**tards like this... Even if we discount the the idiot reporters and aid workers (who probably should have stayed home), when we add up the numbers of indigenous that these types of human refuse hack up, bet they're in the Top 5! Then go beyond the Islamic nutballs and add in the Narcos... and it makes the wildlife kill tally look pretty insignificant. Even if we include the Hippos.

Some highly paid engineer probably realized he forgot an English to Metric conversion and the equipment was doomed to catastrophe so he set the cleaning lady up to take the fall and hide his failure.
Yes, it really happened.
It took place at the Lockheed Martin Space Systems factory in Sunnyvale, California. As the team was turning the satellite into a horizontal position, they found out that the twenty-four bolts that were supposed to hold it in place had been removed by a technician - and the action was never documented.
According to NASA:
The NASA Mishap Board investigating damage to the NOAA-N-Prime satellite has released its final report.
On September 6, 2003, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) N-Prime satellite fell to the Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company factory floor in Sunnyvale, Calif. Technicians were working on the spacecraft, when the accident happened. The spacecraft suffered significant damage.
The Board, chaired by the NASA Deputy Associate Administrator of the Science Mission Directorate, had representatives from NASA research centers and the Air Force Space Command, as well as advisors from NOAA and the Federal Aviation Administration.
The full report is here.
From "Final Launch in NOAA Series" in Aviation Week & Space Technology, 26 January 09:
After it suffered significant damage when it tipped over on the factory floor in September 2003, the contractor used fees earned on the NOAA spacecraft it previously built to cover the cost of repairs.
Fortunately, since NOAA-N Prime was the last in the series, there were backup instruments and components available, so the contractor required “only a few” new components to fill in gaps, said NASA’s Wayne McIntyre, program manager for the Polar-orbiting Environmental Satellite, during a briefing on Jan. 22.
The satellite was launched in February 2009.

Go to the Space Museum in Huntsville and see this in person. Huge does not begin to describe it.
