Can only be seen by Google and pilots
Posted by Nick Farrell at 08:49 AM GMT on Mar 24, 2009 | A STUDENT has painted a 60 foot fertility symbol on his parents' roof so that the house would stand out in satellite pictures on Google Earth.
 Rory McInnes, 18, painted the symbol - which replicates the best-known feature of the Cerne Abbas Giant in Dorset - on his parent's one-million-pound house in white paint.
For a year the only person who knew that the Giant willy was up there was Rory, but it was spotted by a helicopter pilot who hovered so his passengers could take snaps.
Rory's dad thought he was being wound up when hacks from the Sun newspaper rang him up to ask why he had a 60 foot willy.
He went back home and had a word with his four children, including Rory who was in Brazil on a gap year.
Apparently the kid, out of range from a clip around the ear, burst out laughing.
The Cerne Abbas Giant is regarded as a massive fertility symbol, and couples often have sex on his appendage in the hope of conceiving.
Rory’s mum Clare, 49, said there was no way that she was sleeping under that thing after four kids.
Apparently, Rory will have to scrub it off when he gets back.
