Mutter's Spiral.

Orwell Amazing spot from Gawker. Adam Hart-Davis took the photograph on the PRISM logo:

"As anyone who's looked at the PRISM PowerPoint presentation can tell you, NSA doesn't have much in the way of design sense. They apparently don't have much of a budget, either, given that they seem to have stumbled on Hart-Davis' prism photo—offered for free, at low resolution, along with other science-related photos—and decided it was good enough for their uses. (The photo had previously been described as "clip art.")"

And so the story becomes stranger and stranger.
