    you people are all freaks! you spend your time fighting on a comments page about a weird building!Freaks!

    And yet you are spending your time making assinine and ignorant comments.

    Can you show me though, where anybody is “fighting”?

    Thanks.

  • Andrew

    Why would you look up Hitler in Google Maps in the first place?

  • Carl B.

    well, GW’s grandpappy did work with the nazi’s….

    That’s strange. Really strange.

    Incidentally, typing “Hitler” into Google Maps doesn’t reveal that anymore. It now seems to point to Chicago or something. However, typing Hitler into the map with the right coordinates in the URL will still get you that building.

    That is just bizarre. Who approved of that unfortunate design? Probably someone who never envisioned that someday, we would put cameras in space that would be able to see what cities looked like from above. I mean, what a strange notion in the 40s. Even then, though, someone had to have seen the plans and thought this was weird.

    I saw this picture last week, and somebody was saying it was a US Navy facility. Logical enough in San Diego, since half the town works for the Navy, but highly ironic if true.

  • kirk

    It is a Naval facility — the land thrusting out into the bay there, where this building appears, is the main part of Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, home to most of the amphib and special warfare units stationed on the West Coast, including SEAL Teams 1, 3, and 5. The ironies of this building shape only get deeper when you learn that NAB Coronado was commissioned during WWII — you’d think somebody looking over the plans would have recognized the unfortunate swastika shape of that one building.

    There were such things as airplanes in the 40′s… especially around Naval bases…

    even weirder is that… if you search ”Satan” you see the building in the shape of the cross too!

Sometimes buildings and roads are aranged in ways that are efficient for ther use on the ground, but when viewed from the air form images that people believe to be symbolic. These runways are a good example of that. Here’s another one: http://sayanythingblog.com/2005/07/21/weird-google -map-results/ [sayanythingblog.com] [ Parent ] &heellip;

    Hm, I didn’t know that. Maybe the building was designed and built before WW II?

  • TSOTSC

    oops made a mistake! I typed ”Satan” when I still was at the cross building, if you do that the screen only zooms out a bit, sorry!

  • booky mcbookerton

    The swastika was used as the symbol of the sun in many eastern religions and was only used in its modern context by the Nazis who adopted it as their symbol.
    There are swastikas carved into ancient ruins all over egypt,the middle east and asia.

  • Carl B.

    what the hell rob? It’s a joke just as true as anything else, sheesh! His grandfather WAS banking the nazi’s back then, it’s a conspiracy gag for crying out loud…nothing left or right but says a bunch about yourself and the yank that you’d make a huff either way. I’ll try and hold off on the Bush nepotism jokes too I guess, no sense in poking fun at the obvious eh? and the Ted Kennedy chapstick-quity jokes?

    You’d think…

    Its definetly weird.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com robport

    You know, Carl, you spend a lot of time here complaining about left/right politics and how people concentrate on that more than the real issues. And that complaint has merit, to a point, but then you come to a threat like this, which has absolutely nothing to do with politics, and you say something as stupid and inflamatory as that.

    Practice what you preach.
