- Migdilio, on 10/12/2007, -1/+155Cool way to propose: Write "Will U Marry Me" on a rooftop. Take your girlfriend on a helicopter ride over the city. Point out a few local landmarks and then direct her attention to the specialized roof.
Horrible way to propose: Write "Will U Marry me" on a rooftop. Take your girlfriend over to your computer and have her enter the coordinates on Google Maps. - TCDToxic, on 10/12/2007, -8/+126Usually the man asks... ...
- Drood, on 10/12/2007, -9/+127Scroll around the area, see if you can see a big "NO! ***** OFF STALKING ME!" scrawled on a roof:)
- prockcore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+79You forgot the "wait 4 years for google to update their satellite photos"...
- krewemaynard, on 10/12/2007, -5/+83Most buried comment I've ever seen. Congrats, dude...you win at digg :-D
- Alphabet, on 10/12/2007, -5/+78man, i'm starting to hate those stupid mastercard jokes. Seriously, it's getting old, make your own jokes.
- AdamCo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+66If you are going to go through all that effort, at least put a question mark.
- PGvildys, on 10/12/2007, -10/+71There's a "Will U Marry Me" written on one of the roofs there.
- nailerr, on 10/12/2007, -5/+66Because no girl is willing to do that to their roof. Shame really.
- Blizzardman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+56Should respond on a roof near there.
- Tobey, on 10/12/2007, -8/+49I don't know man, typing coordinates into Google maps seems pretty cool to me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -33/+64How do you know it was written for a "she"?
- sporkwitch, on 10/12/2007, -9/+39Actually, using "they" to refer to a single person whose gender is unknown is considered poor grammar ^_^ To the best of my knowledge, there is no grammatically correct way to express it within the English language (yet another reason our language sucks; go German!)
- WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29It should have been written in a crop circle.
- Battlecry, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26Crop Circle:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=&t=k&ll=53.53184,-1.356769&spn=0.00206,0.005461 - bigpeeler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25Santa Claus is already married.
- ster, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22I've always wanted to propose to Google.
- serra, on 10/12/2007, -2/+209gel, if you will pay that much for a ring, I want you to marry me!
- plingboot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Or an exclamation mark
Will is a lucky guy. - scootdown, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Looks more like "Willy Marry Me"
- Frinkiac7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Hate to burst your ego bubble, Sixcolors, but it seems bigamy is still frowned upon here in the states.
On a lighter note, I believe Oscar Wilde put it best: "Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same." - jessed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I still like what was seen in Yorkshire:

Fake? Oh yes, the l337haxx0rz haxx3d into g00gle and replace the image of that particular rooftop.... - Pentarix, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Did you just propose to JelloZ?!
- Stri, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14I think it's a little perverted trying to marry aliens....
- kivatech, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15sweet! 9gel, I'll also marry you with that $15k ring. My girlfriend will be a little pissed though
- sert, on 10/12/2007, -7/+18http://www.prntscrn.net/img.php?img=proposal_2.png
easier to spot shot - newslang, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13putting he/she would cover that. But honestly, no, that didn't occur to me.

Actually... it's pretty simple, now... everyone can use that same message. Unfortunately, the location is likely to come across fairly "random", but not at the end of a real world/Internet scavenger hunt! Woo hoo! Unless you're walking up behind her with a ring however, it would still be lame.
I like how my friend proposed. He had the airplane pilot say it over the intercom during their flight across the country. She burst into tears. I can't remember what he had him say, but she was paying attention and when she realized what he'd said, she looked over and he was smiling next to her with a ring. - SniperGX1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I hope she goes to the roof and leaves her answer so we all know how it ends. This is like a computer science soap opera.
- thras, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10You don't have much experience with how girls act, do you now?
- justinus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11It's Lois Lane's proposal to Clark Kent
- Rice, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16YES, spell, I'll marry you!
I thought you'd never ask!
I've wanted to say this for so long, but now is the time. I love you. - Lite, on 10/12/2007, -10/+18nice find
- riflemann, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9There's another "marry me" here:
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&t=k&ll=40.756248,-74.006076&spn=0.000904,0.001534
It's more visible in google earth, and says "Melissa will you marry me?" - pogo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9sorry wrong link:
http://maps.google.com/?t=h&ll=37.894202,-122.128379&spn=0.004826,0.00869 - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Sounds like his laser/optical mouse has more balls than he.
- christoffer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6When I first saw the title I thought that someone in the Digg staff had done something similar to http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/02/14/143254 .
- Sixcolors, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8No, it's New York.
- Niek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Here is the same house in high resolution "bird's eye" view at Virtual Earth:
http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=40.744542~-73.954621&style=o&lvl=2&scene=1470239
Unfortunately no text on the roof in this view. - Steaminx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7That's pretty neat. I guess anyone can send this link and ask their "other" if they're too nervous. Cool.
- DanAtkinson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6No, I think you're just a little slow on the uptake and haven't figured out how to use the zoom feature properly.
You can't blame us because you typed out a dumb response before actually having a decent look.
Maybe *you* should think before you react. - Maceyhw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@sporkwich: There's no genderless pronoun in German either so go Turkish!
- ollys, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Here is one I found in my community, it reads "MARRY ME D"
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Watervliet,+NY+12189&ll=42.759331,-73.72184&spn=0.001438,0.00339&t=k - speel, on 10/12/2007, -10/+15hmm maybe I should have put he/she ah well. :)
- Otto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Weird text on roofs is something you find a lot of in Google Earth. This one is a few blocks from my place, I had no idea the mall had it on the roof: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=38103&ll=35.14002,-90.05476&spn=0.001448,0.002631&t=h
- Steaminx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7haha. The point still comes across.
- manchld, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7has anyone found a crop circle on google maps? I've been wasting so much time looking...
- wiredclimber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Someone needs to find out if he/she said yes. Ill guess we'll know if the message changes to something like "Screw you bitch" in a few days :)
