The Twitter Tower of Power

Blinked, and lost it.

This was a couple of weeks ago, and since our Random Research team is outside stuccoing the house because we told them to do something useful for once, the tweet in question will remain unknown.

One of the many #NSA tweets had an attached photo, which TheEditor clicked.

A message appeared telling it (TheEditor is gender neutral) that "we" (Twitter) cannot show you everything but if you want to display it, click.

This was our first and most hilarious encounter with Twitter's "over 18" photo filter.

You can certainly expect tons of porn in the #nsa thread, given that the vagaries of the saga have shown some truly obscene government behavior. Or so TheEditor thought.

The photo showed a satellite installation.

Satellite porn? Hm.

Then TheEditor realized what was going on and fell, once again in the #nsa thread, off the chair laughing.

The photo showed a tower with a spherical protective top, and -- hold your breath now - there were two white geodesic domes at the bottom of the tower, one partly hidden behind the other.

Got it?

If not, make a drawing and you'll understand.

If you can find the photo send TheEditor a link, please!
