Russians tell aliens to suck on a fat one
хуй to you too, mate

Doubtless inspired by the UK's huge farmer's arse (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/05/31/huge_word/), Russian wags recently decided to send a message of their own to visiting aliens, and have succeeded in getting their greeting onto Yahoo! Maps (http://maps.yahoo.com/index.php#mvt=s&trf=0&lon=37.662361&lat=55.87303&mag=1):

For those of you not up to speed on Russian sexual slang, хуй translates as "cock". And what a collossal cock it is too, as these snaps (http://englishrussia.com/?p=875) of the work in progress attest.
Sadly, the giant cock has not yet popped up (http://regmedia.co.uk/2007/05/02/55_87303_37_662361.kmz) on Google Earth. We expect the powers that be will move quickly to update their servers in the interests of intergalactic relations. ®
