Google Street View's hidden cast of characters

A true badge of geek pride is to have been immortalised by the Google Street View camera. Mashable has found another ten gems, including Paddington Bear outside the British Museum, a mad scientist experimenting with his ' love laser ' in his garage and one of Brighton's notoriously aggressive seagulls , immediately post-grab. If some of the scenes look a little too lucky to be true - like the marching band caught by the Pittsburgh camera - it's because they are. Streetwithaview was a project run by US artists Ben Kingsley and Robin Hewlett who worked alongside the Street View team to create various scenes in the city, including a woman escaping an attic with a bedsheet rope ladder , a giant chicken and a sword fight . Interesting - but Brighton could've done better. This was a while ago - back in May 2008 - but why didn't we have a chance to do this in the UK? We could've created a spectacular national Google-off, via Street View. Has anyone managed else managed to intercept the Street View car?
