Pyramids and giant pink bunnies

One of the coolest programs out there to download is Google Earth. It's sort of like Google Maps, but a lot more interactive and with community supported features like sharing places of interest. I like it because the CIA keeps booting me off their satellite feed and my spaceship is in the shop. In any case, when you first fire up the program up you'll want to look for your house, cruise around town, that sort of thing, but when you're done with all of that you should really go exploring. I've always wanted to visit the Egyptian pyramids (totally pissed they got booted from the new Seven Wonders of the World list) and the interesting thing is that even if I did show up in person, I wouldn't get the spectacular aerial views shown here. But if you're really looking for some interesting sights to see, check out PC World's In Pictures: The Strangest Sights in Google Earth. My favorite is the giant pink bunny in Prata Nevoso, Italy. It was built by a group of artists from Vienna and measures 200 feet long.
