Funny enough, I found mystery lines on my niece's dessert just the other day:
It makes sense if you don't think about it.

You didn't include a link to the article...
And well, dessert... I know every culture has its sweet treats, but
but nothing--those weird custard tarts are so scary that I don't need mystery lines to give them a wide berth!

Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

After that thick round of snark, here's one article related to the original post:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/8888909/China-Google-Earth-spots-huge-unidentified-structures-in-Gobi-desert.html
I wish people would learn to put scale bars in their images. If it was taken from Google Earth, it can't be that hard!

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.

desert: a dry place kinda like the playa
dessert: a tasty usually sweet treat often after dinner. Also has two esses...memory clue: two esses because most people want more sweet things than dry dusty places
