Google Street View Car Stalked by Snorkel Men
They'll be set when Google starts charting Atlantis.
It seems that the Google Street View car is a chance for some at internet fame (even if it's a blurry affair).
A couple of guys in Norway must have know that the Google Street View car would be soon passing through their street, so they camped outside on lawn chairs while dressed in full snorkel gear.
Judging from what Google now displays on its Street View of its Maps service, the dynamic duo was successful.
Those of you who haven't had your streets charted yet – keep an eye out for the Street View car. Either shutter your windows or get yourself noticed.

PRICELESS
This was not staged.
The full snorkel gear is actually the national costume in Norway and everybody wears it. The only change come when they go out for fancy dinner or in the opera, then it's considered polite if they leave the harpoon at home..
How does one find out when the street view car is coming near them?
Judging by the chairs on the lawn next to this place one can say that they were suited up and waited for the car to come by... true indeed though, if you go on Google maps and put the address up there you can actually see them!

Good question.
yesterday I saw a different news regarding more or less the same thing in Germany... seems the "google car" is a celebrity in its own right.. People following it, people tracking it, people camping out waiting for it.. its like the reception that the queen would get in the UK or Paris Hilton in the US
they're putting atlantis on google map lol
it just makes no sense. it's hilarious

Google?

Kinda freaky if you ask me! lol

If I have any part of it a man in a Yeti suit
GOOGLE SHOULD make this into profit but opening or adding a section to its service: "CLICK to find out what flavor of craziness can be found at this location"
These guys have not life????
Are those holes on the street?
I don't believe that's Norway! 
Ah, Norwegian pride
dykking.no (diving) reports that the guys knew the driver of the google car and such knew sort of when he'd pop into their area.
Greeting from Norway!
Are those holes on the street? I don't believe that's Norway!
It is. You can verify the address. Life isn't perfect even in Scandinavia, though there are ways to make it more tolerable as you can see
EPIC WIN!
Ah, life is good. =)
Google?
Indeed!

I've seen those car plenty of times LoL
The two amateur divers knew the Google driver and had an idea that he would pass by that day, so they decided to do something extraordinary. Although it was a sunny day they included an umbrella to make it even more corny. They laughed so much after the stunt that they got tears in their eyes.
lol.. thats awesome, two snorkel men chasing google view car
I shall now sing the song of my people
lol. I wasn't sure what to expect.
On Dateline, they showed google maps footage where they passed that kidnappers house who had held the girl for 18+ years... they passed his house and then he started following their car in his van. it was creepy.
Maybe the google car stole their beer.
Gotta love the Norwegians.
We're on Google in Goggles!
