I am taking the Acela train down to New York for Web 2.0 Expo this evening, so I generated gmap directions to calculate what time I should leave the office. I noticed that the directions included a few icons suggesting they had street view pictures, so I decided to check them out.

Really great and weird to see how computers (or people) mess up sometimes! :)
