Cool. I'm an Ontarian by blood, but a Nova Scotian in heart.  :wink:

There seems to be a lot of Canucks here.  :clap: hehe

 I live on this city block - http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=5500+e+speedway,+tucson,+az&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=46.36116,82.265625&ie=UTF8&ll=32.236073,-110.875504&spn=0.012161,0.020084&t=k&z=16&om=1




Dude, that's an awesome site.

For shits I found my own intersection and zoomed in real close.

Apparently the images they use for this service are at least a few years old. There is a lot across the street from my home with a Walgreen's, 7-11, and commercial business complex. The business complex was put in since I've lived here, but the 7-11 and Walgreen's have been there as long as I have (since 2003). The satellite view on those maps shows the 7-11 on the corner but the rest of the lot looks like a dirt/gravel construction zone and a half-built structure where the Walgreen's now stands. So those images are at the very least 4 years old. When I get off work today I'm tempted to go to the Walgreen's and ask what year the building was built so I can get an idea how old these images are. You would think they would update them every so often.

About the bomberman, don't you know?

What I'd like to know is how come we got the link to Winnipeg, Manitoba instead of Sunderland, Ontario: http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Sunderland,+Ontario&ie=UTF8&t=k&z=15&iwloc=addr&om=1

While I'm at it...  Here's Ottawa.:
http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Ottawa,+Ottawa,+Ontario,+Canada&sll=44.25491,-79.06609&sspn=0.026742,0.053644&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=0,45.421460,-75.691880&t=k&z=11&om=1
The green arrow is almost pointing on the Rideau Canal, which is now a UNESCO world heritage site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rideau_Canal .

Err... And here's the CISIS HQ (think of it like Canada's CIA): http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Ottawa,+Ottawa,+Ontario,+Canada&sll=44.25491,-79.06609&sspn=0.026742,0.053644&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=0,45.421460,-75.691880&t=k&om=1&ll=45.43618,-75.610292&spn=0.0131,0.026822&z=16
When these types of maps first started to appear, this area was blank.  There was/is a city bus route that goes right into the complex! :P

I wondered about that, but figured that it involved Celine Dion, some Mounties, and maple syrup.  I just wouldn't be able to understand.

That's pretty cool.  We have the Pentagon in the US and Canadians have the Triangle.

Nope, do you recommend?  After a quick search o' the web to see what it's about, it looks like it's getting a remake next year (a.k.a. - Hollywood's out to f*ck up another old movie).

It's a funny head explosion, but as far as head explosions go, you need to see a movie called Maniac. Dude gets his head blown all over the back of a car with a shotgun. It's freaking sweet! ^___^

Here's a video (warning: this head doesn't explode into Hello Kitty stickers)

And yeah, that's Tom Savini as the dude in the car AND the dude who jumps on the hood. I think when he shoots the girl it's back to the other actor though.
