Fun with Google Maps

[kevin_standlee]

Thanks to nitroace, I have found a Google Map view that I find even more amusing than being able to spot Lisa's Big Orange Van in the overhead view if I put the address of the place in Mehama. Go to Google Maps and type this address:

8 Sampsonia Way, Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Pennsylvania 15212

...and then go to street view and scroll around a bit. You'll find "two young swordsmen."

There are also several other pictures of them if you move up and down the street a little bit, but not too much, because it looks like all of the other street view pictures more than a half-block away were taken on a different day.

Actually, in further investigation it seems to be Google Performance Art. The street scenes were staged. I haven't found all the stuff yet, just the swordsmen and the parade.
