In Pictures: The Strangest Sights in Google Earth


Dubbed The Badlands Guardian by locals, this geological marvel (Google Earth coordinates 50.010083,-110.113006) in Alberta, Canada, bears an uncanny resemblance to a human head wearing a full Native American headdress--and earphones, to boot.


For aviation buffs, Google Earth offers the unique ability to spot airplanes in midair. One Google Earth Community has Placemarks for more than 3300 planes in flight, including this World War II bomber (Google Earth coordinates 52.336392,-0.1953462) flying over Huntingdon, England.


The unblinking eyes of the satellites record not only human achievements, but our less successful moments as well. One example is this huge ship (Google Earth coordinates 30.541634,47.825445) floating on its side after a maritime accident in the waters of Basrah, Iraq.


Think parking is tough where you live? In Westenbergstraat, Netherlands, drivers apparently have to park on the sides of walls (Google Earth coordinates 52.069207,4.3139865).


Some of the sights you find in Google Earth are just plain mysterious. For example, why is a fighter jet parked (Google Earth coordinates 48.825183,2.1985795) in what looks to be a residential neighborhood lot near Paris?

Where else would you expect the French to keep there surrender jets.

For ****'s sake, man. Are you even trying?!

You hear the word "Paris," and your knee-jerk, Pavlovian response is to say the word "surrender." ****ing hilarious man. How long did it take you to think of that one? No really. I've never ever heard anyone EVER say anything that related the two together. You, sir, are a comedic pioneer. Dennis Miller, watch your back.

And there's a difference between "there" and "their" (and "they're.")

Somebody's still pissed about WWII

I actually agree with Temple. Making fun of the French is so overdone.

But it it so easy and safe. Not like their gonna fight back.

[IONTOP]

yeah I was raised anti-French... one of the first jokes my dad told me was
"I saw an ad in the paper for a French WWII gun, perfect condition, never fired, dropped once"

Your father was paraphrasing the wording used by many people in the 1960's when selling French and Italian WWII memorbilia.... "Never Fired, Dropped Once" was a common poke at both militaries after the war. In fact it was commonly used for the style of rifle Lee Harvey Oswald supposedly used to assassinate President Kennedy.

[Rodney Dangerfield voice]: Whoa, tough crowd. TOUGH crowd.



Cool pics! Another cool Google Earth site is the ship graveyard in Mallows Bay on the Potomac. Dozens and dozens of ships' hulls lined up along the Maryland shore across the river from Quantico Marine Base.
