DEAD! Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 At first I thought it was computer generated, but that's the real thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE7k9mAEGTUI guess, if Barcelona needs a dome, they know where to get the roof. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look it up.This one? I believe its the largest AMERICAN flag ever. Not the largest flag ever period. And I believe even then it has been surpassed by larger American flags.

Waffles Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Apparently, it's this Israeli flag:The huge blue and white Israeli flag, 660 meters (2,165 feet) long and 100meters (330 feet) wide and weighing 5.2 metric tons, breaks the record for the world's largest, according to the Tourism Ministry.http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/927830.htmlAccording to my crappy math, the flag literally takes up about 0.3% of the country.

ShinyHubCaps Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 As a kid, I had an irrational fear of large flags. Something about them falling down and smothering people, or at least the potential of it. It seems that a good 1/8 of that stadium couldn't see anything but the underside of a giant flag.

They only put it up as the players enter the field as a sign of support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 As Americans, we need to show the world that no one beats us at anything.To that end, I propose that we create an American flag that covers the entire state of Wyoming. The locals aren't using it for anything, anyway.That'll show 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 How bout this oneTank, I'm surprised you aren't railing against PNC for desecrating the American flag by placing their logo on that balloon.If you did, I'd support you - I think that (the ad, not the balloon itself) is downright tacky.

Just messin with ya, it's kinda funny.I told you it was an irrational fear (and yet, I still tried to rationalize it). My irrational fear is being in the water near a large ship. I'd freak out if that happened. No idea why. Even being near a large ship is disturbing to me, for example if I'm on a ferry and a large ship passes nearby. For some reason though it didn't bother me when my Naval Reserve unit was assigned to the carrier Kitty Hawk for two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
