Similarly to the phrase I was pissed (USA to have been angry) I was pissed (UK to have been drunk). Other countries exist. Also there seems to have been a lot of mentions recently of my home town Glasgow. And the actual pin part is too narrow. bean

take THE piss

not take A piss.

That is a very nice project! Here is a similar one implemented by Romanian artist Anca Benera one year ago. This work can be seen in the Kiseleff Park in Bucharest, Romania. http://www.stiupecineva.ro/2008/04/care-pus-in-practica-google-earth.html Hi!

I just graduated GSA, and I recognize all the locations except her apartment. Nearly every other GSA student will too. The artsy side of Glasgow is a small town indeed. To Bean -- "take the piss" means to do something in a tongue-in-cheek manner here. It has a great etymology, but I'll leave it to ya'll to discover. Ha!
