Xbox 360 logo spotted hovering as UFO in the skies over 17th century Hamburg
The thing that really tickles about the Xbox 360 logo spotted in this 17th century woodcut of a UFO sighting over Hamburg, Germany isn't the staggering serendipity of two separate artists, separated by hundreds of years, coming up with the idea of a big circle with an X notched in the middle. No, it's not that: an idiot could come up with the idea of dividing an oval in fourths. But the utter mundanity of the similarity is what is ultimately so wonderful about it.
You just know that the rediscovery of this woodcut will inevitably prompt thousands of damp-browed ufologists to be so utterly gobsmacked by the similarity that, after quickly rubbing one out to some of the choicest moments in Fire in the Sky, they will unspool their madness upon all of us in one long cryptomaniacal conspiracy theory that will firmly implicate J. Allard, Peter Moore and Steve Ballmer as members of the Reptilian junta.

Actually what that is showing is a pre launch viral campaign for the gen 1 X Box, it's just the actual launch was delayed.

The form of these UFOs might have to do with them being related to a vision by in Ezekiel re a winged, wheeled chariot. It's been tossed around by those seeking to link UFOs and the Bible. Not sure if I wish I were joking.

Speaking of rubbing one out, your writing style masturbatory. Best to leave the writing to Brandon.

Well, I thought the writing style made the article funnier.
Just don't overwrite all the time and all is well, IMHO.
