I don\'t get it, unless it\'s supposed to be sexual (in which case it isn\'t very funny..).

It gets even crazier...

I entered my address in place of NY and London in place of Paris (no particular reason other than I don\'t care for France). On line 20 I get the same wacky instruction as in the example but with this interesting difference in the preceeding lines...

The directions have me drive all the way to Boston, Mass before I get to the Atlantic. I not only live an approximatly 14 hour drive from Boston, I do in fact live about 300\' from the Atlantic Ocean already. My street actually ends into Halifax Harbour which is a part of the Atlantic Ocean.

That crazy Google. :drunk:

Nice.


We all know that the google boys and girls have a sense of humor.

Course you cant google from Berlin to Istanbul.

They probably don\'t know how long you can tread water and wanted the least amount between the two points.

I like how the next step after swimming the atlantic is to take a slight right on E05.

I changed the Paris lark to Cardiff, Wales on my second go, and it still suggests I swim to France first, make my way to Paris, come back out, swim the channel and get to Cardiff via London. What madness is this!
