My cold was still lingering a little Tuesday but I went ahead and went to Spinning. Class went fine and I don't feel any worse for wear. Still a little stuffy but no big deal.

Random thought: A bad ride in the rolling hills of Columbia is better than a good ride in the hills of Wildwood. Just tweakin' you a little, Bug. :-)

Those crazy Brits: And still they come. Just when you thought the flood of big rude messages turning up the satellite photos used by online maps might be dying away, it is reported that two pupils who used weed killer to draw a giant penis on their school lawn can now see the vast phallus from satellite photos posted on the internet.

And this time – unlike the previous examples of Edinburgh's giant poo and Rotherham's arse – it's not Google Maps that has the rudeness, but instead Microsoft's Virtual Earth.

The unnamed pair of year 11 pupils from Bellemoor School for Boys (stop giggling) in Southampton, Hampshire, burnt the 20ft willy into the grass as an end of term joke two years ago.

Staff at the school re-seeded the area but the penis has turned up on Virtual Earth, because the photo was taken before the new grass could conceal the enormous knob. (Google Maps image, on the other hand, shows a pristine, non-penised patch of grass.)

Staff, parents and pupils who log on can now see the image in all its glory.

This is not the first time that a British school has been hit with giant penis-related satellite imagery malarkey. In December, it was revealed that a big dong drawn on the roof of Yarm School in Stockton on Tees was visible on Google Earth.

A spokeswoman for Bellemoor school said: 'It was just one of those high school jinks.

'This was an act of vandalism that took place during the summer of 2005. Southampton City Council re-seeded the area and the grass was re-grown by the beginning of the new school term.'
