Those are some potentially big pieces! :eek:

Good plan, since the Germans are the only ones with any money left!

You can track it live. It's over the Pacific right now. It takes a second for it to focus on the satellite's path.

Weird. When I looked earlier it had passed North America and heading for Europe. Now it's in Wisconsin. :waitasec:

Geez it's heading for Europe again. Does it go back and forth? How accurate is this live real time tracking device?

The map that comes up for me shows it to be in Algeria. Am I on the wrong one?
