      • seandfeeney, on 04/22/2008, -0/+41You have to click smarusich's link then walk down the street and look back.
        If you go two clicks down the street and do a 170 degree turn you will see him practically upside down.
      • longbow486, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1WTF FF on 64bit Windows not having Flash I don't want to use IE

      • iofthestorm, on 04/22/2008, -6/+11Well, I think Yahoo just had a bandwidth limit on the site.
      • bliz, on 04/23/2008, -1/+1What if that guy was a yahoo employee? or gasp.. a google employee?
    • sjl127, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1When it comes to my town, they'll show me throwing caltrops out in front of the van.
    • Heidenreich12, on 04/23/2008, -3/+1too bad they didn't stop to help...... actually... screw it..haha
    • hansolo007, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2It's a Power Point presentation of Paper Boy via Google Streets.

    2. ?
    3. Profit
    • twertyto, on 04/22/2008, -2/+261This is true. I just sent this guy 10 million internet dollars.
      • Casework, on 04/22/2008, -8/+105Wait a minute... what's the ratio of internet dollars to Schrute Bucks?
        • FasmTrout, on 04/22/2008, -77/+6It's the same as the ratio of buries you receive to the diggs that I get.
          • feliks2, on 04/22/2008, -0/+40Inverse ratio?
          • jakobmakob, on 04/22/2008, -0/+8Wow, that means that for every dollar that Dwight loses, twertyto gains 78 internet cents.
          • swimmer88, on 04/22/2008, -0/+5yea but Dwight is the best salesman in Dunder-Mifflin, so he's out of luck.
          • romistrub, on 04/22/2008, -5/+1@jakob, your math is flawed...

            it's pretty much at -1:-1 right now... which becomes 1:1.
          • jakobmakob, on 04/23/2008, -1/+3It was -18 and +14 when I did it.
        • elliott9, on 04/22/2008, -0/+57about the same as 5 Stanely Nickles!
        • AgentMull, on 04/22/2008, -2/+36The same as the ratio of unicorns to leprechauns.
        • synyster, on 04/23/2008, -2/+2believe or not internet dollars actually worth more than us dollars
      • eyepatch100, on 04/22/2008, -0/+8God, Forex is complicated...

      Goofy looking things...
    • def1234, on 04/22/2008, -10/+7hey, I know! let's do the same south park quote over and over! that'll be funny!
    • rentmitchum, on 04/22/2008, -1/+31If I ever see a google van I'm gonna do something ridiculous like hump the ground or something.
      • pzwhite125, on 04/23/2008, -2/+43***** that, I'm whipping it out.
        • LongShlong, on 04/23/2008, -2/+68And until Google implements a microscopic zoom option, the world shall be safe.
          • pzwhite125, on 04/23/2008, -0/+49Well played LongSchlong.

          • rentmitchum, on 04/23/2008, -1/+13That was awesome, but it was also great because of your username. Did you foresee this?
          • LongShlong, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1You cannot escape the singular, unblinking eye of the LongShlong.
      • synyster, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1just wondering what's google van like? does it have google logo painted on the sides of the van
    • listrophy, on 04/23/2008, -0/+5So how do I profit off of my escapades on street view?
      http://tinyurl.com/5lhaah / http://preview.tinyurl.com/5lhaah
      That's me on the motorcycle. Who can tell what's strapped to the back? (PS: You may also want to travel east to the next intersection)
    • Wandel, on 04/23/2008, -1/+1I think number 2 is pain.
    • Cydonia21, on 04/23/2008, -5/+0I think this one slipped past most people. 5 points for the South Park reference.
      • ryan850, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2Are you kidding I see this same comment on digg at least every week.
  • andrewcsayer, on 04/22/2008, -22/+4Google street sound much? *Crunch*
  • Axxion, on 04/22/2008, -17/+5Mom Im going bike riding- flash- Fail.
  • twertyto, on 04/22/2008, -3/+30In the third pic check out the guy across the street. He's looking at the dude.
    • DroppedGT, on 04/23/2008, -0/+0If you go up and down the street there are like 3 people in their car doing nothing, 2 people using pooper scoopers a few zombies etc
  • hypnotikrobot, on 04/22/2008, -24/+1legit lol
  • micro23, on 04/22/2008, -22/+16What is even funnier is the fact that the guy across the street just watches it happen and doesn't move or come to his aid the entire time, he just sits there and stares!
    • inchino, on 04/22/2008, -0/+6That is because it is a photo and not a movie... or the person is evil.
    • Blacksheep34, on 04/23/2008, -1/+0Google is EVIL!!!
    • iamsocruel, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1just like on seinfeld
  • JamesMatt, on 04/22/2008, -28/+41Nelson from the Simpsons laugh.......... "Ha-Ha!!!"

  • micro23, on 04/22/2008, -23/+3What is even funnier is the fact that the guy across the street just watches it happen and doesn't move or come to his aid the entire time, he just sits there and stares!
  • debuffplx, on 04/22/2008, -14/+84What is even funnier is the fact that the guy across the street just watches it happen and doesn't move or come to his aid the entire time, he just sits there and stares!
    • jp12380, on 04/22/2008, -1/+10What was the guy supposed to do? If someone falls on a bike you aren't going to be able to run over there and stop it from happening. It's not like it's a process that takes 10 full seconds to complete and if the guy is moving and you can see he does not need help getting up you aren't going to necessarily go over there. Maybe shout to him and ask him if he's alright.
    • scubachef11, on 04/22/2008, -4/+0you win.
    • HawkeyeMatt, on 04/22/2008, -1/+5okay wtf
    • cowsgoquack101, on 04/22/2008, -0/+11He's on a freaking bike that fell over, it was probably going about 9 miles an hour. I don't think anyone has any life changing injuries from that wreck.
    • Twisted871, on 04/23/2008, -0/+16it's funnier when you say it
    • whitenerdy92, on 04/23/2008, -0/+9because it's a picture?
    • TheDarkstarter, on 04/23/2008, -0/+4Maybe the guy watching knows that kid is a dumbass and always does dumb stuff like that, so it's no big deal.
    • iamafatguy, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2There's a CAR in the way...
    • HxChris91, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1What is even funnier is the fact that the guy across the street just watches it happen and doesn't move or come to his aid the entire time, he just sits there and stares!
  • iheartboobs, on 04/22/2008, -2/+23One day I'm gonna wake up and hear on the news that google street view was used by the fbi to find some terrorist plot.
  • ImTheManWhoRU, on 04/22/2008, -0/+221he was like oh ***** it's google street view don't do anything stupid...*crash*
    • floridiot2, on 04/23/2008, -1/+1I can ride my bike with no handlebars....
  • reyesz, on 04/22/2008, -1/+31hey that's google's Street View Car
    hey guys!
    bonk! clunk! zlopp!
    • eyepatch100, on 04/22/2008, -1/+38zlopp?

        He unzipped his pants and took his penis out.
        Zlopp!
      • rentmitchum, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3I dugg it FOR zlopp. Do not question the zlopp.
  • Lith25, on 04/22/2008, -20/+10What is even funnier is the fact that the guy across the street just watches it happen and doesn't move or come to his aid the entire time, he just sits there and stares!
  • countmischief, on 04/22/2008, -4/+6Mirror!!!
  • Axxion, on 04/22/2008, -9/+2FAIL!!!
  • burstaneurysm, on 04/22/2008, -2/+276Here's the maps address (hopefully the truncation doesn't break it)
    http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&hl=en&q=&layer ...
    • ePuck, on 04/22/2008, -0/+7Good work. Thanks
    • Wesside, on 04/22/2008, -0/+41Thanks, god knows why someone would link it via yahoo o.O
      • Kratos76, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2...and Now: Yahoo! Sorry, Unable to process request at this time -- error 999.
    • johnmcd, on 04/22/2008, -14/+1Epic...Fail.
    • jimthenglishman, on 04/22/2008, -0/+30you have to move forward once, and turn right
    • peestandingup, on 04/22/2008, -0/+17Oh man. Keep moving forward & then turn right. Legs in the air like you just don't care!

      It almost looks staged.
      • kevro, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1I thought that too, then i realized that only 1 sec or less would have passed.
    • xero69, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Excellent! Thanks for the link!
    • code_of_life, on 04/22/2008, -1/+6go north another time and it gets funnier.
    • RevoFM, on 04/22/2008, -2/+7The spill:
      http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&hl=en&q=&layer ...
    • koft, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3The unlucky bastard was probably watching the google van and not paying attention. He's probably a digger too.
    • forceuser, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Can you use that 3D camera for everything? I can't find how to activate it.
      • farboo, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Yes. It's inside your house too; just send me you address and I'll give you the appropriate link.
    • thekms, on 04/23/2008, -0/+4Oh man, just keep going forward and looking back on him. I think he does a somersault or something; his legs are waving up in the air in one frame.
    • jsaya, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1It sorta looks like there's a girl looking out from the bottom right window...
    • racinfast002, on 04/23/2008, -0/+4Holy cow, move thirteen clicks down the street after the accident and look left...there is totally an old midget. SCORE
      • thailand1972, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Midget with a white hat. I can't believe it. I thought you were *****.
  • Wiini, on 04/22/2008, -28/+3Google violated the Good Samaritan law. The drivers of the streeview van should be arrested for witnessing a fellow citizen in need and ignoring them.

    Do no evil, my ass.
    • seanc6610, on 04/22/2008, -1/+11the guy fell off his ***** bike in his driveway, i have a feeling he didn't need help from the streetview van.
    • Foofoofoofoobar, on 04/22/2008, -0/+13The Good Samaritan law only protects potential helpers from legal and financial liability. It does not require passers-by to help.
      Also, Google contracts this out to another company.
      • yuanzhoulu, on 04/22/2008, -4/+1the "law" differs in different countries. in the USA it's mostly nonexistant except for those such as CPR certified and emergency persons. anyone else gets sued for random crap in the USA.

        on the other end of things, you *can* be cited in Switzerland if you could reasonably help and were the only one who could help without putting yourself in danger.
      • tingrin87, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1this also assumes the guy driving the car saw it happen.
    • elliott9, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2and also on top of that, your a gaywad
    • RomeyRome, on 04/22/2008, -0/+9I'd give them extra credit to go up & poke him with a stick.
    • BryanJK, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2the guys in the van may have not noticed, I'm pretty sure that camera would be automated for all the images to be taken and organized like they are.
    • visionaryIX, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Good Samaritan law doesn't mean you have a duty to help anyone, its a standard for which once you assume the duty, you must do (What the reasonable person would do).
    • Wiini, on 04/27/2008, -0/+1Wow... I know it's too late now, and no one is reading anymore, but I was just being funny. I didn't think the losers of society were going to come out and pick apart a random, sarcastic remark like that. Tards.
  • adh3isive, on 04/22/2008, -17/+9What is even funnier is the fact that the guy across the street just watches it happen and doesn't move or come to his aid the entire time, he just sits there and stares!
    • ePuck, on 04/22/2008, -1/+2Haha. You're right! the guy across the street just stands there...
    • HawkeyeMatt, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1Maybe he's waiting for the van to go by so he doesn't get ran over? Anyways, I would stare anyways and not help unless he obviously broke something
    • Gorgamel, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2I think I'm in the matrix, and some agents just modified my surroundings to remove all the exits.
  • n0t0kayipr0mis3, on 04/22/2008, -1/+32I used to do that all the time, i used to fall in front of the house because i would get scared of the sprinkler watering my lawn.
    • Merrick178, on 04/22/2008, -0/+40What?
    • burjzyntski, on 04/22/2008, -0/+16dugg for being dumb.
    • n0t0kayipr0mis3, on 04/22/2008, -0/+13yeah i was 7, since then, my motor skills have vastly improved and i am no longer scared of spraying water. It was a tough recovery but... at the end it was worth it.
      • romistrub, on 04/22/2008, -0/+10"at the end it was worth it"

        Are you some kinda olympic bike-swimmer now or something?
        • n0t0kayipr0mis3, on 04/23/2008, -0/+5No but i make jokes from time to time mixed in with some dry sarcasm that confuse people about my physical capabilities.
          • itsgotyou, on 04/23/2008, -1/+3I think you moved a step up. I'm confused about your mental capabilities.

            /JK
    • azurechaos, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3You used to fall in front of your house because you got scared of the sprinkler in the lawn as the google van passed by?
  • rushco, on 04/22/2008, -12/+2Epic
  • x0rcist, on 04/22/2008, -7/+3Brilliant
  • xenoc1de, on 04/22/2008, -7/+1He's a genius.
  • Merrick178, on 04/22/2008, -1/+127Why is this on yahoo and why is it down? Fail.
  • painperdu, on 04/22/2008, -3/+35"Sorry, Unable to process request at this time -- error 999.
    Yahoo!

    Unfortunately we are unable to process your request at this time."

    On Yahoo??
    • Pfkninenines, on 04/22/2008, -1/+10Yeah, apparently the huge web tycoon can't stand a little digging.
    • RevoFM, on 04/22/2008, -1/+2Probably some sort of yahoo blog hosting or something and he exceeded his bandwidth.. use that head of yours.
      • Kratos76, on 04/23/2008, -1/+3But, no, we're tryin to make yahoo look lame here.
    • Patrickdnj, on 04/22/2008, -1/+3That's what she said?
    • JNudda, on 04/22/2008, -1/+2Yahoo site hosting.
    • whitenerdy92, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Yahoo bought Google!
    • Knucklecallus, on 04/23/2008, -3/+1If you flip it over... .666 ɹoɹɹǝ -- ǝɯıʇ sıɥʇ ʇɐ ʇsǝnbǝɹ ssǝɔoɹd oʇ ǝ1qɐun 'ʎɹɹos

      Wait... No wai! 666! This is totally the devil's fault!
      Edit: Omg! 23 words in my comment! Yet again, Satan is at work!
    • travis6690, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1http://fail.yahoo.com
  • qmacaulay, on 04/22/2008, -1/+4What are the odds that this would happen at the exact moment the Google van is passing him by!! Unreal...
    • BryanJK, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1the google van passes by a ton of people, the chances will increase dramatically of anything happening at least once.
  • coachmcguirk, on 04/22/2008, -2/+21"Sorry, Unable to process request at this time -- error 999."
    Anybody else getting this?

    Mirror anyway:

    • Kratos76, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Apparently, you didn't read the above comments. (although, I'll give it to you... they were probably all submitted at the same time)
  • ogisdan, on 04/22/2008, -6/+3epic fail
  • firewall1, on 04/22/2008, -12/+1link is down - bury
  • mik991, on 04/22/2008, -0/+85LOL! If you go farther North on the street and look back at him his legs are up in the air.
  • tylermenezes, on 04/22/2008, -7/+2Looks to me like he was just being a dumbass by trying to show off for the streetview van.
    • Lionhart, on 04/22/2008, -0/+7I don't think they're clearly marked Google Streetview or anything. Plus it looks like its just a kid. Maybe early teens. So yeah, I doubt it.
      • BryanJK, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1but they do have a giant camera rotating on top of them
  • bgolat, on 04/22/2008, -2/+5Sorry, Unable to process request at this time -- error 999.

    ...but it's still funny because of the fact that the guy across the street just watches it happen and doesn't move or come to his aid the entire time, he just sits there and stares!
    • barfnugget, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Well said, I couldn't have put it into better words myself.
  • Komodork, on 04/22/2008, -1/+4if you move north and then look back, you could see that the kid also flips backwards
  • Cowboy1015, on 04/22/2008, -5/+6Before... car accident caught in Google street view...
    Now... guy falls of his bike...
    What's next coming on the frontpage?... "A guy tripped while walking on the sideway"
    • dood, on 04/22/2008, -0/+6If it exists, and the people visiting digg like it, it'll eventually end up on the front page. Perhaps multiple times. Such as the nature of digg.
    • karaokekidd, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Sideway?
  • jasmus, on 04/22/2008, -0/+116Is it obvious the van is a google van? surely they don't say google on the side, otherwise these street views would just be lines of people with their genitals out.
    • deviouster, on 04/22/2008, -0/+18A car passed down a main road here in Tucson a while back. It says Google on the side and theres a large camera thing mounted on the top of the car. It doesn't say Street View or anything, though.
      • Tsukassa, on 04/23/2008, -1/+7I confirm this for Montréal in Quebec, Canada, a year ago we were following a car with the Google on the side and a plate from Carolina if I remember well. At first we were pretty curious about the black thing over the car, but once we saw Google on the side we understood. For strange reason though streetview still isnt avaible in Montréal.
    • oo7b0nds, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2i saw one pull into frys one time in palo alto california. it looked really shady, it was an old honda civic or something with like 6 cameras mounted on a pole on the top of the car. it said google on the side.
      • farboo, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1I saw it in Palo Alto too (used to live near that Fry's). It was clearly Google, though this was before Streetview was public. But it was obvious what it was doing.

  • smrekar, on 04/22/2008, -0/+6The best part is if you view the google map, listed in this thread, and pass the guy w/ 2 clicks and look back. He's laid out. 1 more click, he is lying on his back, lifeless. AWESOME!
  • AlienMushroom, on 04/22/2008, -8/+3EPIC FAIL!!!

    • superPipo, on 04/22/2008, -1/+7Sorry, your comment is epic fail.
  • loneswish, on 04/22/2008, -0/+26Poor guy. He falls while riding his bike, then everyone on Digg finds out the exact address of where it happened (and the neighborhood where he rides his bike).
    • Intamin, on 04/23/2008, -0/+3It's a good thing he didn't steal anything!
      • dlodewyk, on 04/23/2008, -0/+2or is attempting to ask a girl to prom :P
