Butt Hole Road
One of our favorites, Butt Hole means "watering hole" in an older form of English.

Cock Hill Lane
We assume a rooster roamed these parts.

Cockburn Street
Pronounced coh-burn, if you pronounce it with a hard "k" sound it's because you didn't wrap it up.

Dumb Womans Lane
Ann Coulter has to live somewhere.

Slutshole Lane
Slut used to mean "mud" and therefore this is mud shole lane. Take too many trips down this road, though, and you'll end up on Cockburn Street.

Economy Road
Oh no, we're in the red! Even worse: it's a cul-de-sac.

No Name Street
After reviewing these other names, we think this was the safe way to go.

PeePee Falls Street
One more reason why you should always wear a hat.

Penis Road
The "Pen Is Mightier."

Blueball Avenue
We don't care how much it hurts, avoid Slutshole Road.

Titman Road
Who isn't?

The Google Street View invisa-car looks to be running strong in a pack consisting of the #3 Corvette Racing C6.R, #45 Flying Lizard Porsche GT3 RSR, #8 B-K Motorsports Lola B08/86 Mazda, #9 Patron Highcroft Racing Acura ARX-01b and the #2 Audi R10 TDI. We'll be on the lookout for more on-track excursions now that Google has reached the other side of the whuurld. (Hat tip to everyone who sent this in!) [via GoogleStreetView]

The quirky Google Street View car must have been making a fast getaway from Mad Max as it found itself stuck still in New South Wales, roughly 200 miles away. It makes you wonder what Google was thinking when they sent a little econocar out to do a man's job. Where's the '79 FJ40 or the Holden Ute? As the saying goes; measure twice, cut once. We look forward to seeing what other fiasco the Street View guys can get themselves into. (Hat Tip To Boggy_Crapper!)

The story is told through the three images below, depicting the Google Street View camera car illegally driving down a bus / bicycle / taxi only lane. We also hear the Google driver was heavily doped up on methamphetamine and on the lookout for a singled-eyed man with a patch. Okay, so we made the last part up. Below is the actual eye-witness account.

Here's the story of the incident in Chris' own words:

I'm from Bradford, United Kingdom. I was just going on my lunch break at work today and i noticed a black car that had stopped at a red light. It had a "google" sticker on the side, and a large camera "thing" on the top. I decided to pull out my camera phone to take a pic, but just as i did a police car pulled up right behind it and put on it's lights and officer inside was motioning the car to pull over.

I then realised why, as the car was in the lane to go straight ahead, which was marked "bus / bicycle / taxi only", before i could take another pic, the google car sped off, went nearly the whole way round the block in busy Bradford city centre (the police still following now with lights and siren on!), before eventually pulling into a car park… which just happened to be the car park to the old police station!!!

When i eventually caught up i did manage to get a picture of the police car and the Google car pulled over in the car park, after which the officer got out of the car and started asking me not to take pictures! lol

Also, I'm hoping when they put the street level view for Bradford on google maps, am hoping there will be a cheeky pic of me taking a pic of the google car, which i can then upload to google earth my pic of the google car taking a pic of me (if that makes sense?!? lol)

That is the suck.

The Mad Max Pursuit Special V8 Interceptor was really a 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT, an exclusive Australian ride, that came equipped with a hearty 351 Cleveland V8. We're wondering if the nerdy, little Google Street View car was jealous or something because this movie gem seems a bit off the beaten path, even for the Land Down Unda. (Hat tip to Salguod!)

The Google Streetview camera car survives the battle, but we can't say the same for poor little ol' Bambi. To top it all off, Google then tries to wipe the whole mess clean by removing the pics from its servers. We really thought you were better than that Google. Google? You hear us? You KILLED Bambi! Shame on you. SHAME!!!

Here's the evidence: Google Street View

(Thanks for the tip tonyola....uh hem...we think.)

Cables have been buried in the ground several feet from the road, running parallel to it. The electromagnetic field they emit has been calibrated to detect the interruptions caused by deer, elk, or other large animals passing over it. Signs positioned along the roadway then light up to alert drivers to the presence of the animals. For the trial phase, radar detectors are being used to calculate both the volume of traffic and its speed. Should the alerts be capable of convincing a significant enough portion of drivers to slow down when animals are present, the system could be rolled out across frequent animal crossings statewide.

We’d love to see technology like this applied to roadways. Combined with other advanced warning systems like BMW’s night vision-equipped 7-series it could make the road a safer place for humans and animals alike. [via Treehugger; photo nrcdeer.com]

2. Sec. 317. Seven-year cost recovery period for motorsports racing track facility. .

Track owners want to be able write off the cost of their facilities on their taxes over seven years - a depreciation timetable many of them have used for decades. But the IRS has wanted to stretch it to at least 15 years and has raised questions whether the increasingly popular tracks really belong in the same tax category as amusement parks.

Auto track owners are simply trying to get out of paying more taxes - which they'd have to do if they deducted less every year. These owners have gotten plenty of tax breaks over the years from states and localities eager to get speedways. The provision would be extend 2 years till the end of 2009 and would cost 100 million. The provision encompasses all facilities including grandstands, parking lots and concession stands.

Of course, if a couple of college students driving around with all manner of black boxes, electronics and wires can gain access to a high-security military installation, it begs the question, what's stopping Al Qaeda?

At the Pentagon's request, Google has removed the material.
