Bad Boys
Classic! Now what do you think this conversation between the Google van driver & this police officer consisted of:
- Speeding
- Directions (wouldn’t that be ironic) i.e. Google Maps
- Or how about…”Sir, why do you have a gigantic camera mounted on your roof”?

Lots of public, not so much transit
Lol, here’s a good one. I wonder how long these three people have been waiting for this bus to come. It does look like someone perhaps graffitied the phrase in white spray paint…could very well be a prank, & if that is the case, not working as effectively as one would hope.

Hopefully this will help you better remember
Wow, that is a lot of post-it notes! I don’t even think I would put that kind of time/effort into a prank – & don’t get me wrong, I am quite thorough when it comes to pissing people off. I wonder if they actual have text written on them, & if so…What kind of ridiculousness may they contain – so much is left to the imagination here.

White-supremacy headquarters perhaps?
Well this is a little more subtle I suppose – a swastika visible only from the air. I seriously doubt the original architect could have failed to notice the resemblance here; of course it may not have been their original intention, wait! A quick Wikipedia reference tells me this facility was commissioned in 1944, the plot thickens….

Land Ahoy!
Here is the location of a Bolivian cargo ferry named The “SS Jassim”. It is now shipwrecked in the Wingate Reef, near the Sudan coast in 2003. They say this is the largest shipwreck visible within Google maps.

Sky-rockets in flight
Check out this Google Earth view. Hmmm…wing-span is a bit short to be a plane, trajectory appears completely horizontal…couldn’t be a rocket. Eureka! This appears to be some sort of a missile in mid-flight near Junction, Utah. I wonder where its headed? Not too much besides mountains lie beyond its path.

C.S.I Giant episode
Well now, this is odd…Now what the bloody hell could this have been used for…or what are they planning on using it for:
- A prostitute violence-awareness parade
- Some sort of playground designed with sexual-education in mind
- Goliath’s abandoned sex-toy
The strangest thing is that; not only are the arms/legs severed – but there appears to be representation of muscles & tendons where the arms would have been. Hmmm, I have quite the imagination & even I am having an awfully hard time determining what the hell is going on here. It reminds me of that old Sesame street skit, “One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn’t belong”…Yeah & it’s the colossal severed torso being stored behind your warehouse!

Valhalla!
Now here’s a nice change, two urban gentlemen battling each other dressed in medieval attire, I really can’t say I see this every day. I wonder if they are really true historians or just a couple of dudes who decided to play outside because their Final Fantasy co-op mission was interrupted on behalf of a neighborhood power-outage…What a couple of freaks.

We don’t need no water
“The roof, the roof”…the roof is seriously on fire! We don’t need no water – Hold-up, we have no water because we didn’t pay the utility bill this month…Here comes the Google van, forget about our immediate safety for now – we need to look cool…Good job boys, mission accomplished.

Look Ma – I’m on Google Earth!
Google has since removed the original image; you can see the two girls through the provided Google Maps link, just not the money-shot (Shucks). Even though they have replaced the image…this find still holds #1 spot for the simple reason that nothing screams “HI GOOGLE” like attempting to flash your breasts to an audience of nearly 7,000,000,000 potential viewers. Good work hun…You have earned Ben’s top-10 spot for Greatest Google Earth Moments! I’m sure your mother is proud.
