I stumbled again over this story I had found a couple of years ago. It's a long read - but well worth it.

"In 2010 a massive Maricopa County SWAT team, including a tank and several armored vehicles, raided the home of Jesus Llovera. The tank in fact drove straight into Llovera’s living room. Driving the tank? Action movie star Steven Seagal, whom Sheriff Joe Arpaio had recently deputized." -- “Why did you shoot me? I was reading a book”: The new warrior cop is out of control, www.salon.com

Here's a nice article about how people thought about Google in 1998. And there's an image on Wikipedia.

I started here while playing geoguessr a while ago. Let's just hope google doesn't notice too quickly because what is probably a broken camera looks quite nice :)
