I wonder if google street maps has ever inadvertantly snapped a picture of someone doing something awkward, like leaving/entering a brothel or gay bar or something.
I remember there were shots of women sunbathing on their porches in the nude and at least one shot of a couple doing it on their porch that was caught.
That I would like to see

I googled for this immediately after I read vash23n's post. The nudey pictures look as bad as Atari porn games.

It's crazy. Almost as if there's some kind of urban planning going on.
Unless you are in Boston. That place is wacky.
That's cause it was established back when we were letting the British design our cities.

I also remember reading about people of small villages in Europe blockading the vehicles used to get these images. They wanted their privacy protected and apparently a car with a roof-mounted, rotating camera drives slowly down streets to get the shots. Many people were in an uproar and even threw stuff at the cars.

Two traffic area peeves.
1. Try taking the freeway in Portland, can't explain but if you don't daily commute it, you will end up on another wrong Interstate before you get out of the city. "What happened to South 5, I was just on it a minute ago!"
2. New jersey, the Toll booths and the turn right circles to turn left. "Ya wanna turn dat way buddy? Yous get two red lights!"
EDIT
Okay a 3rd one, ever wonder why the Jefferson monument in D.C. has such a low tourist count? Try to find it.
