The weird wonders of Google Earth just keep on coming. A few weeks ago, ABCNews.com went to the ends of Google Earth (and Google Maps, too) to explore some of the most interesting images left behind by pranksters, artists, Mother Nature and everyday people.

The cunning teens used Google Earth to find homes with pools and then organized pool parties using social networking sites.

We would also warn prospective swimmers that using someone else's pool is trespassing and therefore illegal."</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E2F05F52-B8DF-45C5-A820-724AC7E4F5A3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
