Default Google Street View Game

I'm bored and getting a bit addicted to Street View and in a rare moment of creative genius I thought of this stupid game. The rules are as follows:

I'll nominate something you have to find to set the ball rolling, if you find it post the link and/or a pic up here and if you get it first you get to nominate something else and so on...

#1 - Find a branch of McDonalds in Stockholm

That search is flawed, all you have to do is type McDonalds, stockholm in and they all come up on the map.

It made me smile the idea of you spending all day looking for a lollypop lady
She is a very nice headless lollypop lady though.

Yes her head is wonky, I tried it from several angles and on the others you couldn't see her lollipop stick properly, so I went for the misshapen head. On my search I also saw a man whose lower legs had melted into the ground, a man with his shirt off and lots of people who disappeared the closer you got to them.

Wow, found one in the first place I thought of looking. I think I have a memory of a seagull stealing food from someone there once.
Show me the way to the local library. (i.e. signage)

nah no way I can find a goose. I went to a few farms though :D

this will have to do :

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&so...273.13,,2,0.19

Next person has a choice of:

1) Finding an animal that is not a pet, cattle, or a bird. (or human..)
2) Finding something with a date or time.
3) Or a one armed- cyclist.
