Quote: Google Earth has proven useful for a plethora of things�finding your house from space, checking out islands in the Pacific Ocean, and now, finding massive fields of weed. At least that's what happened in Switzerland, when Swiss police managed to come across a "large marijuana plantation" while using Google's popular software.

2 acre field of the stuff... that's a lot'a weed. They say you can see license plate numbers while viewing with Google Earth (that is if they haven't already blurred 'em out).

Guess growers are gonna have to find more smaller ways to grow their crops now that Google Earth is on their trail.

Donuts are bad for you. Marijuana is bad for you. Marijuana is illegal. Donuts should be illegal. That would teach cops a lesson.
