BRILLIANT! I have always thought that the people at google are hilarious. Their April fool’s day joke at gmail was awesome too.

As a Google employee (and non-geek – I work in marketing, not engineering, and am totally not smart enough to follow the engineer conversations I overhear on the way to lunch!), I’m glad to see people are tickled by the directions. It’s fun working at a company with a good sense of humor.

I found this fun fact by doing New York to London. Line 24 is the key here. Very fun stuff.

Do the moon, and then zoom in as far as possible. Just as funny (to me anyway).

That’s hilarious. I’m surprised that they actually say to do that instead of ‘hey take an airplane!’

My favorite part is the slight right after you’ve just swam across the ocean. Just a slight one…

Delurking to say that is awesome. And it says only 31 days. I don’t know that I could swim that far in a month.

Its delightful that the return trip from Amsterdam also involves a swim across the Atlantic.
However, I’m sad to say that if you look for directions from SF over the Pacific to, say, Hawaii, the directions cannot be calculated by googlemaps.
