It's not everyday that you see some guys dressed up as medieval knights fighting on a sidewalk... unless you live outside Pittsburgh (congrats Steelers by the way!).

Google has been known to capture some oddities with their cameras before. Between their special Street View Cars and high-resolution satellite images, Google might have the most thorough record of life on Earth ever collected. But when you are photographing the entire planet, you are bound to find some oddities here and there, not to mention lots of embarrassing stuff.

Unfortunately, these two guys were dressed up and having a LARP battle at the exact moment the Google Street View car was driving around Pittsburgh taking pictures. In case you aren't familiar with the term (please don't feel bad if you aren't), LARP stands for live action role-playing game. So the guys in the image above are basically acting out a live version of a World of Warcraft game... in public.

Here's link to the Google Street View interface for this LARP photo if you want to check out the rest of the neighborhood. If you pan a little to the left you'll see a guy riding a bike. He's clearly confused by the LARP fight.

Want more? Pittsburgh LARP battles are just the beginning! Here are some more things Google has captured on camera:

• The Biggest Sony PSP on Earth
• Comet Craters Found Using Google Earth
• Aliens in Area 51
• Maxim Models from Space
• Giant iPods
• Naked People on Google Earth
