What's really funny is when you look at the actual street view and go up and down the street you can see them continue the fight.

I thought the funny part was the guy on the bike going down the street looking at them like wtf.

Thats a bit creepy in a lot of ways.

Btw, go down the street a ways and theres literally firemen getting a cat out of a tree for a little girl. Theres something just plain awesome about that.

Head all the way down the street and you'll see something even odder. (http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&layer=c&cbll=40.45731,-80.009332&panoid=DRMMxDPqX7E0v1VMoeB0Wg&cbp=12,253.79661363701348,,1,14.614131738907322&ie=UTF8&ll=40.457331,-80.009211&spn=0,359.99932&z=21)

Apparently someone was standing around that day in the Ham costume from the To Kill A Mockingbird movie, or that's a statue of some sort outside the meat store. Odd either way.

So do people know when whomever is doing the photos or whatever for streetview is going to be by? This (http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&layer=c&cbll=40.456949,-80.011593&panoid=C4I-QLkZJoT1SHXslK5f7Q&cbp=12,161.3713618855329,,0,21.92485535774788&ie=UTF8&ll=40.456973,-80.011475&spn=0,359.986053&z=17) looks staged too, obviously.

Apparently the people on the street knew or something, cause that is way too many things to just be a coincidence.

Huh... what's strange is if you zoom out a bit, then look up, you see what looks like a bunch of UFOs. :confused:

there appears to be a giant upside down turkey behind her, either that or i'm really not seeing what it is supposed to be.

I like this, awesome.

Someone complained to Google to redo a street in the UK as it showed him passed out on the curb after a heavy night drinking. Hilarious.

Google Maps Car Hits a Deer, Records Entire Ordeal on Google Maps (http://i.gizmodo.com/5141974/google-maps-car-hits-a-deer-records-entire-ordeal-on-google-maps) (Gizmodo)Here's a sad one: the Google Maps car took out a baby deer, and it recorded the entire process for all Google Maps users to see. For shame, Google Maps car!

As you follow the street view scene down Five Points Road in Rush, NY, you can see the deer run out in front of the car, get hit and then see it on the side of the road before the car pulls over. And that's the end of the Street View data for Five Points Road.

Wow. That's really a sad set of photos.

I wonder when we'll see the first Google Maps car accident with another vehicle.

At least they got out and moved it off the road.

Wow. That's really a sad set of photos.

I'm waiting on the first criminal activity caught on Google Maps myself.

If you google-street my house, you can frame by frame see my friend pulling into my driveway. The really funny thing is he had just finished smoking a bowl when the google car drove by
