It Was Only A Matter Of Time: Google Streets Car Finally Gets Christened By Bird

It Was Only A Matter Of Time: Google Streets Car Finally Gets Christened By Bird

I can’t believe it took this long . And, who knows, maybe it’s happened before . I mean, birds shit on my car all the time. Cats too. And, at least twice this year, a homeless man. Well, from a purely technical standpoint, that was actually IN the car. And speaking of which: DON’T YOU EVER WIPE YOURSELF ON MY SEAT AGAIN. Use the passenger’s. Google Maps Thanks to Marcos, who has slept in cars but never shit in them. Remember: don’t shit where you eat sleep. Unless you pass out on the john, in which case go for it.

Google Streets Spots Fire Truck Hit Old Lady

Google Streets Spots Fire Truck Hit Old Lady

Honestly, I bet the old lady ran right into the side of the thing (old ladies are notoriously bad bike riders. *ahem* Grandma — I saw you hit that bus shelter!). There’s a before shot after the jump, but unfortunately the above image has since been removed from Google Maps . I smell conspiracy. I mean, it’s not like the old lady asked to have have it removed . Old people using computers — HA! They’re better at avoiding fire trucks! Hit it for the before shot and a link to the action area.

Verizon’s AT&T Bashing Holiday Commericals

This is one in a series of holiday Verizon ads bashing AT&T’s 3G coverage. I thought they were tacky , particularly since it’s not even Thanksgiving yet. ONE HOLIDAY AT A TIME, FOLKS, GEEZ. Where were the Pilgrim and Indian themed ads? Oh, right — you ran them in July. I only jest, Verizon , and in the spirit of giving thanks let’s smoke this peace pipe together. Oh yeah, that’s the stuff. Now pass the cornucopia — I think I saw some chips. Hit the jump for two more.

Website Maps People’s Sexual Escapades

Website Maps People’s Sexual Escapades

Honestly, I don’t even know what a sexual escapade is. But if it’s anything like the Ice Capades you can count me in! No, seriously, I love skating . Anyway, IJustMadeLove.com is a website where users can let the rest of the world they just made love and where the deed was done. Because there’s nothing more romantic after coitus than rushing to your laptop to tell the world you just touched a vagina. And as you can see from the map above, basically only North and South Americans are doing it. Plus a couple people in Europe, but they don’t count because their penises are notoriously small. INTERCONTINENTAL BURN! But seriously, don’t stop reading, Euro fans. You can stop sending pictures though. IJustMadeLove Thanks to Romeo, who just pointed out I’m the number one contribuer to IJustMadeLoveToMyself.com

McDomination: Map Of McDonalds In The US

McDomination: Map Of McDonalds In The US

This is a graphic representation of all the McDonalds restaurants in the United States. As you might be able to tell , there are a lot of them. Some might even say a McMillion . But they’d be wrong, because there’s only 13,000. This map is the brainchild of Stephen Von Worley, who got to thinking about the strip malls sprawling out along I-5 in California’s ever less rural Central Valley: “Just how far can you get from generic convenience? And how would you figure that out?” There are over 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants in the US, or about 1 for every 23,000 Americans. But even market penetration this advanced doesn’t mean that McDonald’s is everywhere. Somewhere in South Dakota is the McFarthest Spot, the place in the US geographically most removed from the nearest McD’s (*). If you started out from this location, a few miles north of State Highway 20 (which runs latitudinally between Highways 73 in the west and 65 in the east), you’d have to drive 145 miles to get your Big Mac (if you could fly, however, it’d be only 107 miles). So you think the folks in Bumfack, South Dakota, are any skinnier than the rest of the population? Because I bet not. And no, this isn’t me endorsing fast food. But one time I did find two onion rings in my fries at Burger King. Yeah, so who’s the real king now? Gimme that crown, bitch! 413 - The McFarthest Place: 145 Mi to the Nearest Big Mac [strangemaps] Thanks to Edminster and twellve, who only go to McDonalds when McRibs are in season.

Is This Nessie Spotted On Google Earth?

I’m not even sure what I’m looking at. It looks like a snake chasing a giant squid . But according to some security guard who was busy surfing Google Earth instead of patrolling his beat, it’s the Loch Ness Monster (love you, Nessie). Jason Cooke told The Sun he spotted “Nessie” while browsing the website’s satellite photos. Mr Cooke, 25, of Nottingham, said: “I couldn’t believe it. It’s just like the descriptions of Nessie.” The image can be seen by entering coordinates Latitude 57°12′52.13″N, Longitude 4°34′14.16″W in Google Earth (or playing with the map above). Earlier this year it was reported that climate change may have killed the Loch Ness Monster. There have been “no “credible sightings” of Nessie for over a year. Veteran American monster hunter Bob Rines thinks environmental conditions in the Highland loch have changed and can no longer sustain the elusive reptile. Gary Campbell, of the monster’s official fan club, said: “I’m concerned. There have been none of the normal sightings that verify that Nessie and her family are still alive and well.” Haha, these people actually think the Loch Ness Monster is real. That’s great (bless their special little hearts). You know, these are the same people that keep asking for government grants to go hunt for Bigfoot. Which, SPOILER ALERT : bitch was delish! Is the Loch Ness monster on Google Earth? [telegraph] Thanks to Asbo and Praveen, who only hunt for dragons because dragons are real and sit on mountains of treasure.

Angry Villagers Chase Off Street View Car

Angry Villagers Chase Off Street View Car

A group of angry villagers in Broughton, England chased off a Google Street View car because they feared an invasion of privacy and increased crime in the area. “I was upstairs when I spotted the camera car driving down the lane,” resident Paul Jacobs told The Times of London. “My immediate reaction was anger: How dare anyone take a photograph of my home without my consent? I ran outside to flag the car down and told the driver he was not only invading our privacy but also facilitating crime. “This is an affluent area. We’ve already had three burglaries locally in the past six weeks. If our houses are plastered all over Google it’s an invitation for more criminals to strike. I was determined to make a stand, so I called the police.” Just to be fair, I broke into Mr. Jacob’s home and stole his valuables and last bowl of cereal just to prove that, even without Street View, The Geekologie Writer will still rob you blind. But seriously, Paul, if you could pick up some more Raisin Nut Bran, that would be awesome. Gang of villagers chase away Google car [cnn] Thanks to Brad, who once chased a Google Street View car six blocks before he realized it was a pizza delivery guy.
