What if they introduce a 'nice ass' recognition and tie it into  
Google Maps street view? Will we see lots of results like this:

http://maps.google.com/maps? 
f=q&hl=en&q=googleplex&sll=37.448697,-120.948486&sspn=2.94791,5.141602&i 
e=UTF8&t=h&om=1&layer=c&cbll=37.424329,-122.160873&cbp=1,349.54174615675 
4,0.616426117417295,3&gl=us&ll=37.428354,-122.160652&spn=0.010156,0.0142 
91&z=16

Well... It had to be said :P
