Doubtless inspired by the UK's huge farmer's arse [1], Russian wags recently decided to send a message of their own to visiting aliens, and have succeeded in getting their greeting onto Yahoo! Maps [2]:

"Cock" as seen atop Russian flats on Yahoo! Maps [3]

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 [4] of the work in progress attest.

Sadly, the giant cock has not yet popped up [5] on Google Earth. We expect the powers that be will move quickly to update their servers in the interests of intergalactic relations. ®
