Google Street View catches God fixing West Midlands....

The Metro News wrote:Google Street View's roving camera has caught many strange sights in its time - and now it appears to have spotted God doing a bit of a DIY, as a giant pair of celestial pliers are pictured descending from the heavens.

This spot of holy handicraft was captured by the Google Street View car in Cradley Heath, near Dudley in the West Midlands, on the corner of Grainger's Lane and Station Street.

While at first everything looks normal, if you look up, you'll see an enormous pair of pliers emerging from the clouds. The pliers are also visible again a few streets away on Whitehall Road.

It is not immediately clear exactly what about Cradley Heath needed fixing so badly that it called for divine intervention, but any residents who have an idea what it could be are welcome to let us know.

The alternative explanation for the image - that someone was just fixing the camera and got pictured by accident - can be dismissed on the perfectly reasonable grounds that it's boring.

Google Street View recently expanded from its original 25 cities to cover around 95% of the UK's roads, using both the camera car, and a special Google trike to capture images in places where cars couldn’t go - such as Stonehenge.

The expansion has led to another burst of Google Street View spotting, with web users coming across many bizarre new images - not least amongst them this picture of a surprised seagull having a close encounter with the Google car's elevated camera in Brighton.
