Google Sightseeing found this giant three headed elephant in the new Thailand Street View imagery.
If you want to break Google Maps try searching for the North Pole. It seems that the Mercator Projection used by Google Maps struggles with the North Pole. If you do want to find the position of the North Pole on Google Maps, you can turn on the Google Earth view.

For those who are really interested in such details, the reason the Mercator projection breaks at the North Pole is that the formula used to plot the latitude lines places the North and South Poles at infinite distances from the Equator.
