Some people are afraid Google is going to take over the world. As far as trusting them, I am leery of almost anything on the Internet. Google has mastered helping me get sucked into CyberSpace.
Regardless of your opinion on them, there are some pretty kewl things on this Giant. And one can't deny that they have a sense of humor. Remember Pigeon Rank? There was also the brief era of the Google Bomb. So let’s get all Googley and look at some of these things, mostly from maps.
If you're interested of a pretty long list of general Google links, Neil Patel has a nice one in this article. (Despite being about a year old, the post is still a great list. Be sure to check out the links in the comments as well.)
The inspiration for this article of diversion started with This Digg Post. The Digg Link is discussing a PC World Article that shares 15 kewl pictures. My favorite is the parking problem you see here. I also got a kick out of coke logo they linked to that is supposedly made out of coke bottles. Over the years, I can also recall seeing a flying car!
Before I proceed any further, I must state the following:
I am in now way shape or form responsible if you get sucked into CyberSpace frantically clicking on all these links and links within the articles. YOU are responsible for any of your lost time. In fact, the APA has deferred including Internet Addiction as a disorder. Therefore, unless it involves gambling or porn, you are, at best, just being unproductive. However, if that does happen, just keep clicking your doctor is working on it Before you proceed you may wish to check out this list and see how many disorders you have that are being suggested. (My goal is to lobby for thier inclusion and qualify for full disability. This will free up hours of more time to surf!)
With that out of the way, shall we continue? I did a few searches and found the following:
- Map of Strange - Check out the UFO.
- Speaking of UFOs. The comments are worth reading for the debate. (Google Sightseeing is a good way to kill a day in it's own right.)
- UFO Maps specializes in tagging sighting locations.
- UFO locator is very similar
- Geo-trotter has about 50 strange images and many other categories.
- How about some Crop Circles?
- 1.
- 2.
- A few from Google Sightseeing.
- A Snarky Satire investigating the Crop Circles.
- I am comforted knowing that the aliens use my favorite browser. Maybe they can help me overthrow Internet Exploder?
- I guess they also like Pac Man, which is clearly demonstrated in this collection.
- One more Earth Explorer
Now remember, you still need to eat, bath and sleep. BTW you might want to check your dog's bowl and see if you have remembered to fill it lately.
Thanks for reading...
