Google Street View

[Nadar]

Bergen's street view (along with other parts of southern Norway) was finally released this week. It did however not take many hours before the amusing views started emerging in the media. One seemingly hot chick was caught sunbathing topless (lying on the stomach sadly enough) in the middle of the city...

...and another view was that of a pair of scuba divers running after the Google car with pitchforks That street is the neighbor street to my cousin and not really far away from me either The street is called Rugdeveien if you want to have a look yourself.

Maybe you others could share funny finds as well? Either from the media or ones you've found yourself. I spent hours just "walking" around in the streets last night; yeah I'm sad.

The driver was understandably upset, and promptly stopped to alert the local police and the Street View team at Google. The deer was able to move and had left the area by the time the police arrived. The police explained to our driver that, sadly, this was not an uncommon occurrence in the region — the New York State Department of Transportation estimates that 60,000-70,000 deer collisions happen per year in New York alone — and no police report needed to be filed."

Google plans to make a further 210,000 miles of British roads available on its Street View service on Thursday, adding to the 28,000 miles currently shown.

The move means that Google Maps users will be able to see 96 percent of the UK's approximately 246,985 miles (398,000km) of thoroughfare, the company said in an announcement released on Wednesday.

not funny ofc, though some new pics found tomorrow hopefully will be

Maybe the Google car drove past when you took a photo of your dog taking a shit?

I can see your fear of this. Theres every chance that a picture now exists of your house, and possibly even yourself wandering the street.

In fact

I sense a compo!

I've looked everywhere I might have been last august (when the cameras came around) and I was not caught "out and about" by them. This is hardly surprising.

Could barely read the black text, but who tf is Hasselhof? David?

[Maladoni]

Heh, I meant Huseklepp (I think).

[Nadar]

I really need to get myself a dictionary for that language.

[Maladoni]

Is the gag not universal?
