Google Street View
For those who live in the US, and driving, google map is a very useful tool. I know, because I use it almost every long trip myself. However, I never find their “street view” feature of any use, which literally show you the view of that street from a car’s point of view. When it first came out, there were some people complaining about privacy issues, but to no avail, as the images were taken from the streets, clearly public places. It is up to Google themself to decide whether they want to “satisfy” people or not, and to their credit, they generally did.
That’s a while back. Google just rolled out their “street view” feature in Japan, a much much more crowded country than the US, not long ago. Hilarity ensues !!!
Hungry ? Enjoy a steel rail
The above photos show a tree in Tokyo that is devouring a metal guard rail. It is believed that the tree must have slightly damaged itself by initially coming into contact with the metal guard rail, healing itself by accidentally growing around the metal. It is believed that the process took about 4 or 5 years, and the tree could continue to grow along the guard rail.
Man arrested for threating to attack a non-existent train platform
This non-entertainment news, but such a stupid person deserves an exception:
A man has been arrested for posting a thread on 2-channel announcing his intent to murder people at a location in Tokyo, Japan, that does not actually exist:
“I didn’t think threatening to attack a railway station that doesn’t exist would constitute a crime,” he was quoted as telling investigators.
Sakiyama posted a message on an online bulletin board on June 28, threatening to launch an indiscriminate attack at “Ueno Station on the Saikyo Line,” local police said.
“I’ll show you how to avoid being arrested after threatening to launch an attack,” the message read. “At 9 p.m. today, I’ll murder many people at Ueno Station on the Saikyo Line.”
Ueno Station is real and so is the Saikyo line, but the Saikyo line does not actually pass through Ueno Station. Authorities had responded to the threat by having officers put on alert in areas of Ueno Station that actually exist.
