No, those aren’t giant ants swarming around the Washington Monument all the way up to the U.S. Capitol Building. This is the first satellite image of the inauguration taken at 11:19 AM EST today by the GeoEye-1 satellite. This is the same satellite that supplies Google with images for Google Maps and Google Earth, so we may see this image show up there one day as well.
All those clumps of people in between the Washington Monument and the Capitol are clustered around Jumbotron screens. The image was taken from 423 miles in space and shows objects as small as a half-meter.

Too many people, not enough room. Did you hear when they boo'd Bush? I hear they have that on the youtube.

When I see pictures like this, I can't help but try and imagine the most efficient way of killing all the people in the crowds.

If a picture says a thousand words, than big pictures say a thousand big words.

Whatever they are, it's obviously a parasite.
