Chinese Go Troll Lord

So these strange patterns apparently appeared overnight in some desert in China (and by overnight I mean they've been visible for years, only just now discovered by some insanely bored blogger who apparently is scrying planet earth through google maps for looking for something vaguely more interesting than the bowl of cold macaroni on his desk). But I know what this is, a TLG Work Flow chart; this one from August I believe! Why the Chinese are copying it in the high desert is beyond me!
