Google DOES have a sense of humor...
Take 60 seconds to do this. I guarantee you will past this on to someone else. It ' s too funny not to.
1. go to www.google.com
2. click on "maps"
3. click on "get directions"
4. type New York in the first box (the "from" box)
5. type London in the second box (the "to" box) & hit "get directions" on the same line
6. scroll down to step #23
This works for Paris and a few other european cities as well. Unfortunately, there is not corresponding "Easter Egg" for the pacific that I've been able to find. :(
Good one, Bob. :)
