Discovering the many odd, amusing and unfortunate moments captured by Google Street View has become something of a sport for online voyeurs.

Just this week, eagle-eyed users spotted a South Dakota man toting a rifle in public, and a gent in Melbourne using the loo.

Also this week, a now infamous series of images emerged capturing one of the Google Street View cars hitting a deer in upstate New York.   (Google apologized and the images were removed.)

Add to this list a series of incredible Street View scenes from one road in Pittsburgh. All along Sampsonia Way, amazing random events seem to be taking place.
