I saw several articles on “The biggest drawing in the world”, and when I read it was done using DHL, I had to laugh. Every time I deal with a new vendor, and they tell me they ship through DHL, I toss a coin to get an idea on if the package will arrive in a timely fashion, or make it at all. It seems that from my past experiences, DHL drivers are incapable of checking a building directory, for a suite number. I have waited days with DHL making multiple attempts to deliver a package, and because of an error somewhere, the full suite number does not appear on the label, something like Suite 40 when it should be Suite 402. But they can’t seem to take the extra 2 seconds to check the building directory, etc…
Ok I am digressing, but now back to the point…
So now this comes out that DHL has assisted in making the largest drawing in the world (well it’s not, more on that later), to make this alleged largest drawing, the “Artist” shipped a GPS with big ass batteries, with the exact instructions (Just like my packages) on where the package needed to go, and 55 days later, the GPS showed back up, with all the Data to make the picture. Then the guy breaks out a map, a pen, and tracing paper, and using a lot of artistic license, proceeds to connect the dots.
I am very skeptical when it comes to this based on past experience, as recent as last week, that only took 4 days to straighten out.
Now to the biggest drawing claim…
Since when is a drawing on D sized paper, the biggest drawing in the world? For it to be what the artist claims, wouldn’t there need to be a large ink line all over the world? Because what he has is just a representation of a GPS track, and that is only 110k kilometers, what about that picture that NASA is constantly drawing, that is track of the International Space Station ISS, jeez that has to be billions of miles/KM, since an average shuttle mission does millions of miles. So as far as I am concerned, unless I can see big lines on google earth, I ain’t buying the Biggest Drawing In The World claim, at least he could have done is draw it on a really really big piece of paper.
