So my best friend, the other day, sent me a link on my phone to a Google satellite view that supposedly shows someone dumping a body in the lake (
Snopes debunking here). So I decided to have a little fun with him. I kept entering somewhat-random coordinates into Google Maps until I had landed on a spot with GSV. The location I picked was in Quebec. I then sent him the following text message:
46.106, -71.2842 ... Switch to street view, go down the street just a little bit, and you can see a guy getting mugged in Quebec.
I could tell he was trying it out, because he sent me a screenshot of a location nearby, then asked me "Northwest or southeast?" So I baited him with "Southeast, I think." My wife and I couldn't stop laughing at that point. (Shortly thereafter, I told him I was messing with him.)
Fun little prank!
