I was perusing Google Maps, gettin' my Street View on, when I noticed something about the KFC sign on Nettleham Road, in Lincoln.
As you can see from this picture, the face of Colonel Sanders is obscured. Now, this seems reasonable - there is clearly a piece of software used by Google to identify faces (and car number plates) and obscure them to retain the anonymity of whoever happened to get snapped by the Street View camera. This software recognised the KFC sign as a face and blurred it. Fine. I totally get that.
But then I took a look from the other side, the north-facing side of the sign. For some reason, the software decided not to blur the good colonel this time.

So cover your face in talcum powder, put on a pair of glasses and a fake moustache, face Scotland and say 'cheese'!
