« on: April 27, 2007, 02:52:57 PM »
Wow, has the be one of the most if not the most strangest picture on Google Maps or Google Earth I've ever seen.

Car on side of building?

Another strange one.

Strange reflection

      It's an advertisement, seen that before. Probably to promote some glue brand.

      There used to be a huge crushed bug on Google Earth. Google for it, it's pretty funny. The bug got squished in between some glass plate and the picture of the map while it was being scanned. Poor thing.

      Kinda odd how Google Map has almost become an art form of sorts.  My poor area isn't even on the map.

      That's because art is supposed to lift spirits, not announce Armageddon, Matt.

      How odd.
      My school looks awful on Google maps, I searched it ages ago.
      Looks even worse than in real life, which is pretty bad.
      And there's lots of odd things if you look enough - I seem to recall that an area of Blackpool was blocked off for a while, not sure why.

      That's when they were creating the "Discount Hotels around Blackpool" thread...

      So, we basically have some street art here, right?  Did you notice a street is also painted on the side of the building?  Here's some fascinating artwork:  Virtual Street Reality
