A pair of Norwegian jackasses in full SCUBA regalia sat in lawn chairs waiting for the Google Street View van to go by and gave chase when it did. This is one of the resulting images, but you can go up and down the street to see them lying sitting in wait as well as a couple more of the hot pursuit . Now, how the hell does everybody know when the Google Street View van is going by? Because I didn’t when they did my neighborhood. Sure they still caught me floundering conducting hydrodynamic experiments in a kiddy pool by the garage, but I’m a scientist and that’s everyday shit for me.

Besides Model Airplane Glue, he chases my brain.
This is a series of photos showing a guy stopping to pick up some hooks somewhere in Europe. They come to us courtesy of Google Street View , which sees everything . Now, where the hell is this? Scantily clad hookers standing on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere? “Ooh ooh, please mister, pleaaaase dump our bodies in the woods.” STREET VIEW - Yes, you are on Google Street View! [motifake] Thanks to Doug, who would have spotted the Street View car and doubled back to pick up the hooks just to be safe.
No really, what the f*** is that?! Google Maps (see for yourself) Thanks to dr death, who, Jack Kevorkian reads Geekologie?!

Hell yeah Canada knows how to party! Now I know a lot of you Canadian readers are always telling me what a great time it is up there and how I should come drink all your beer , but up until now I honestly thought you were just gonna kill me and toss my body in a snow bank. I was wrong, you folks really do know how to party it up! (I can be there in 22 hours) Hit the jump for a zoomier shot of the portly tailgater.
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.
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.
A Google Street View car in France spotted these high-brow citizens pissing in the middle of the highway together (I’ll hold yours if you hold mine). I guess they don’t have rest stops in France. Still, you’ve got to commend them on their technique. It’s similar to what I do, except nothing like it because I just hang my junk out the window. One time I was dragging it behind my station wagon when an 18-wheeler hit it and then did like fifty flips in the air and exploded. True story. Hit it for a close up that may or may not show some guy’s penis.
This is a gallery of some of the best of Google Street Views . Most of the pictures are unexplainable, so feel free to make up your own story as to what’s happening. Here, I’ll get you started. “THAT’S MY BIKE PUNK!” Hit the jump for 14 more of the craziness.
