So it turns out Google Maps Street View is good for finding a lot more than aliens, cats in windows, and guys exiting porn shops. In fact, in the short time since Google launched its new service, finding oddball photos has become an addictive new way to kill time for some. But if you don't have the time to search the country street by street for photos of robots, you might want to check out Streetviewr (despite the hokey web 2.0 insistence on leaving the final "E" out of the site's title).
Streetviewr is a rather simple page where users can upload interesting or funny images found using Google Street View. A rather large number seem to be photos of people with missing heads and cars that don't look quite right because the 360 degree photos didn't line up very well. But some of the user-submitted coordinates and captions are good for a laugh.
