On the lighter side, I had to share a story that brought back fond memories of “This is Spinal Tap” and the famous Stonehenge scene. Microsoft Flight Simulator players have been noting a giant mountain-high obelisk is now present in Australia. The unique structure was the result of an edit by University student Nathan Wright who meant to type in 2 for the floors of a structure but ended up specifying 212 stories, making the tallest Obelisk ever built and an engineering marvel.
That mistake to OpenStreetMap data seems strikingly familiar (and an excuse to rewatch the Stonehenge scene).
Before this triggers obelisk envy in some countries like Egypt, it is expected to be corrected. In the meantime, users have already produced a tutorial that includes instructions on how to land on top of the obelisk.
