classic! thanks for that RB

I see there is a whole industry of finding interesting googlemaps images out there!
slashdot has a killer thread on this one -
with some wags comin up with some great quips
favourite so far 'Germany welcomes their new insect overlords'

apparently google says the thrip (I thought they were earwigs?) was squashed between the glass when they scanned the image hmmmmm as some Ct's say, ..its a cover up for an actual invasion?

warning!! some coarse language:

It would seem that Koolewong has been shifted a kilometre or so to the north.http://www.comcen.com.au/~gladesign/images/Koolewong.jpg
I should give credit where it is due, they got it correct in their maps.

G'Day,
Sure is way off lol, looks like they have a longer walk from the station

iluvsaturn (Garth) · #15 04-10-2006, 11:48 AM

Yeah had to catch the train to Koolewong boy did I get lost!!!!

iluvsaturn (Garth) · #16 04-10-2006, 11:49 AM

Ended up in this other place by water!

bojan · #17 04-10-2006, 03:01 PM

and terrifying the locals
