Oh-ho-ho this is rich. Some German pranksters saw a Google Street View car parked outside their place in Berlin and managed to sneak a GPS device onboard. Watch the Googlemobile roam around on Google Maps here. [fffff.at (NSFW) via Reddit]
Google's updated 35 European cities devastated by WWII with aerial photos taken in between 1935 and 1945, so people can compare it to current-day shots. If only Street View had been around when I was studying history at school!

The Pompeii ruins are one of the most tourist-visited sites in the world, which is one reason to stay home, sit on your couch with no pants on and enjoy the ruins on Street View. It's pretty gorgeous. [Google]
After careening into a wall outside of Rankin, PA, one Street View photographer has been trapped, and condemned to send dispatches from a horrifying hellscape, forever. This is the highly empirical theory that the internet, and I, am sticking with.

Holy Mother of Steve McQueen! A crazy, perhaps strayed Google Street View got into the Laguna Seca Racetrack, chasing some badass sport cars. You can travel through the course like with any city street or road. Can you identify them?
