More on the snake man
Today The Telegraph writes about the streetview image of a guy walking down the street with a snake we posted here yesterday.
Leon Kidd, 25, who has five snakes, was photographed with his 10ft red-tailed boa Nibblez as he carried her along Clarkson Road in North Earlham, Norwich, last summer.
Nibblez?
– I take her out nearly every day in summer in Earlham Park. A lot of people are surprised, others are curious and ask if they can touch her. She loves being taken out, especially going in the grass.

Good news, bad news
The good news:
Along with Google’s Street View update came many new features, including the photoshopping to make the Google car disappear.
The bad news:
Along with this update came the removal of some of the things that made Street View funny sometimes. Things that will no longer be seen in Street View are:
Hi-resolution imagery
People’s faces
Previous Street Views of hi-resolution Street View.
Those things were giving Google lots of trouble, so all imagery is now lower resolution.
