Of Popes and Bears : Can buildings feel?

Top News Article | Reuters.com: "The marble..." which fell from the top of the Supreme Court building"...was above the inscription near the top of the building saying, 'Equal Justice Under Law' and above the allegorical figure representing 'Order,' one of nine sculptured figures on the pediment."

Can this be a coincidence?
Does torture at Abu Gharib evidence a crumbling from the inside?
Does the building itself resent the influence of the appointer?

...add your own rhetorical questions on Papal faiths, bear waste elimination, etc. here in the comments...

If you believe they put a man on the moon...

Man on the moon or a hoax in the Arizona desert? On Google, you may finally find the answer.
An 'extension' to their Google Maps service has surfaced: Google Moon (http://moon.google.com/)

The area displayed covers the lunar landing sites.
In theory, you should be able to zoom in close enough to see artifacts from the supposed missions such as landing craft and Lunar Rovers.
Try it -- zoom on in!


Here's some additional location data from a Slashdot post (http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=167174&cid=13939948 ):

The largest object that is on the moon is the 14036kg SIVB from Apollo 15.
Located at 1.51S 17.48W (or as a WWURI: worldwind://goto/world=Moon&lat=-1.51&lon=-17.48&a lt=13402 ),
it isn't actually visible, possibly because that is its impact place, rather than a resting place (so it could well be smashed).

The largest intact objects are the Lunar Rovers, and there's three of them:
Apollo 15's rover (worldwind://goto/world=Moon&lat=26.08&lon=3.66&al t=13402),
Apollo 16's rover (worldwind://goto/world=Moon&lat=-8.97&lon=-15.51& alt=13402)
Apollo 17's rover (worldwind://goto/world=Moon&lat=20.17&lon=-30.77& alt=13402)
