The Arsenal Stadium Mystery for Aliens

Post by Pstotto » Tue Oct 20, 2020 12:47 pm

It's just the same as papier mache lumps representing Britain at the Venice Biennale... Scaring aliens away. Wouldn't you be scared of papier mache lumps if you were an alien?

The Arsenal Stadium faces directly north. Seen from space and as a hive of electric activity, aliens would be scared of it, notwithstanding the disease abounding via social mix.

Jupiter's red spot and the Arsenal Stadium might be more related than you think.

What determines the face of Stadium? Is Turf Moor's the Bob Lord Stand facia?

Google Maps I imagine will show you, if you turn the satelite option on.

There's a rocket launcher underneath the pitch, you know...

I don't think an oval can face any direction. But the pitch is orientated approximately north/south - which is the ideal orientation to avoid the effect of the setting sun on the players.

But which part of the "Oval structure" that is "The Emirates" is its face 🤔

Pstotto has been reading Graham Hancock. Spoof mystical alignments. Some people make a good living out of this nonsense.

I’d already checked google maps and it’s slightly off being perpendicular to North, hence asking for proof ;)

If you tell me the exact type of nuclear weapon you've got then I can give you the exact mathematical equation to take in the tilt of the Earth.

I love that word. Perpendicular. Just rolls off the tongue.

If only... It's 17 Degrees down here in Kent. If I had the money I'd be on the next plane.

... Still. A 'coming up to Halloween and Bonfire Night' feel to the day. I've made a 'Penny for the Guy' out of bits of straw from the arable fields, but a posh version being it a bit posh in places down here... Anyway, I've got a jolly good song worked out:

'A penny for
The Furher (Posh English: F' 'your a)

For one
More Cockney
Fewer (Posh English: F 'your)'

It terms of signage there's green, black, grey red and white.

... And.. Plus how you look at it.

How that might work out in colour theory regarding architectonic recognition in 3D space I'm not sure, but I can view it as such in terms of architectonic form recognition via a full appreciation of form and local colour in extant physical space.

In other words it was a photographic picture of North London from above at some sort of an angle to the Earth's surface, where all colours identified were local colour.

Both the ticket and the ETP picture.
