Google space weapon obliterates 50m insect

[mawilson 2,133]

Those among you who think that Google is nothing more than a force for international

evil masquerading as an internet ad-punting outfit will have to think again. We have

just received news that messrs Brin and Page are using their vast wealth not to enslave

millions to the Google brand, but rather to protect mankind from rampaging 50m insects.

Regular readers will recall the chilling case of the sleepy hamlet of Arlesberg, menaced

by the mother of all earwigs*:

Here's the original wide view, indicating the sheer scale of the beast:

However, here's the same area now:

Quite what kind of terrifying, space-based weapon Google used to blow this monstrous

insect back from whence it came is a complete mystery, but suffice it to say we can all

sleep sounder in our beds tonight safe in the knowledge that the search engine monolith

is ready to strike with massive force against any threat to its customer base.

Bootnote

*Yes, yes: we know it's not actually an earwig, and thanks to all those entomologists

who wrote in to point out our mistake. Thanks too to Hayden Clark who alerted us as

to the giant insect's destruction.
