Amazing finds from Google Earth

As I was browsing through popular diggs this morning, I found a link to a *very* cool video of images of animals you can find when zooming in incredibly close using Google Earth.


Find Them On Google Earth! - video powered by Metacafe


To top it all off, you can actually find these images using Google Maps by searching for the following coordinates:

BUFFALOS: 4°17'21.49" S 31°23'46.46" E
CAMELS: 15°17'40.32" N 20°28'47.42" E
ELEPHANTS: 10°54'13.66" N 19°56'06.15" E
FLAMINGOS: 21°50'36.15" S 35°27'00.60" E
HIPPOS: 6°53'53.00" S 31°11'15.40" E
6°54'00.10" S 31°11'11.67" E

Google rules the world! And now the animals, too. As long as they don't develop a God complex.

"you ought to stop playing God, because you're not good at it and the position's taken."

Anyway - thanks for the pastries this weekend. They were greatly enjoyed :)

And, of course, I already read the comic...errr... graphic novel....
