Fun with Google Maps

[2091401]

I just made up a new game... and it's awesome.

1) Go to http://maps.google.com/]Google Maps[/url].
2) Grab the street view guy (little orange dude on the top-left of the map).
3) Drag him to anywhere (on a global scale, like a certain country or state) that there's a street view on the map (blue-shaded area).
4) Release and see what you find.

A majority of the time that I did this, the location looked exactly like what I thought it would, but a few times I was genuinely surprised.

Try South America or Ireland. Those were pretty awesome ones for me.

Fun looking at landmarks or places of interest like the Kremlin, Disney World, or even your house on there.

Maybe later if I ever am not feeling like absolute sh** I will give your game a try.

Yeah...they have animals in a few of the pictures...that's basically the quest I'm on right now.

So far I've found an anteater, some Japanese bears or something...,a ton of penguins, a seal eating something, a creepy monkey, and a group of elk or some kind of deer.

Also, I found an old Canadian cemetery....it's pretty creepy.

Canadians die?

Canadians die?

Maybe....or maybe they just bury themselves together and have a party.
