For those Google Earth users out there, check out the following (try it

There is photographic evidence that a giant earwig is stampeding through the
German countryside in the general direction of the small German hamlet of
Arlesberg.

The 'earwig', which must measure a good hundred metres in length and is
armed with a set of pincers that could decapitate a blue whale, is clearly
visible in the following screen grab from Google Earth:

Tragically, the rampaging behemoth will have reached and consumed the quiet,
unassuming residents of Arlesberg by now, so what can you do? Except to
wonder how it got there.
A practical joke by the pranksters at Google? The tragic tale of an honest
earwig in the wrong place at the wrong time? Demonic space monster? Or just
a bug in the system?
