Google Earth car

Today on my way to pick up my daughter from school, I spotted the Google Earth car turning onto my street. I assume they were recording a side street. I know our street has already been done, since I’ve seen my house on Google Earth. Therefore I didn’t feel I had to frantically mow the lawn or, more likely, stand out front making the Vulcan salute or something equally goofy.

However, it begs the question. If you knew the Google Earth car was coming to photograph your house, what would you do?

In a similar vein:

Interesting sights caught by Google street view.
UK village thwarts Google street view.
And most oddly,
Mad scientists captured on Google street view.

D&D Week 23 part 2: Don’t go into the water.

May 26th, 2009 12 comments

Poor tortured Val finally stops running away from us. We divvy up treasure and continue on into the formerly flooded passage.

GM Vaschon: Your party travels down the sloping passage and sees a long corridor to the east. Water appears to be mostly drained with roughly 2′ remaining.
Palin: “I can live with waist-high water.”
Aleanghi: (Beware that quote)
Torkal: “It could be worse. More slime or ooze water, with those mushrooms.”
Palin: You’re right, these quotes are dooming us.

We cautiously make our way into the water.
