Or is there anyone else who occasionally goes on Google Earth and tries to find herds of animals running across the Sahara? It's surprisingly entertaining, like going on a safari at your desk!

Oh god... That would be straight whale watching. If a person was big enough to show up, I'd rather not see them nekked.

Goin' around the Czech countryside, one can find such spectacles as men peeing on the side of the road.

Hey Sean, yeah we got some overnight. Family's opening today, finally! It's been a bit depressing, been here just over a week and there's been absolutely nothing to do. Are you home for the season? Grouse? How's the snow? I heard Whistler was getting shat on...

Not in Garm, living in a nice house near the NAC building.

My roommate sent me the screenshot, I have no idea if he found it or not though... He does spend lots of time checking out other countries though so it could be legit.


And to the "wouldn't the animals have moved?" guy, please tell me you're trolling, or running on like 2 hours of sleep. I'll admit I did laugh though.

even harder, and I used to do it all the time: find ski tracks on very big mountains.

eg mustagh ata: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Muztagh+Ata,+Akto,+Kizilsu+Kirgiz,+China&daddr=38.275485,75.053664&hl=en&geocode=CYoeTbnaFU4sFUUoSAIdezB6BCnBIL6AgnzsODHLl19iqw4TNg%3B&mra=mift&mrsp=1&sz=18&sll=38.27487,75.054184&sspn=0.003647,0.008256&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=38.27487,75.05316&spn=0.003647,0.0103&z=18
