    I know it's old to most. But I find it really funny in Google maps on one of the intstructions they provide for you when you put in New York, New York to Paris, France. Notice #23 - Swim across the Atlantic - 3,462 miles.

    Haha yeah, is this google trying to be funny? :p I've seen this before somewhere though!!
    (you can always replace the swim across with a simple flight to that destination..)

    I don't know why Google would say that. :p

    They should've mentioned a flight somewhere. ^_^

    Yeah I know its funny. I came across this from my 14 year old son. I forgot how he managed to find this. But nonetheless it's funny to see Google all knowing do this.

    Well thats nice to know. Than next time dont help to bump a thread up if it has been discussed 2-3 times before. It gives as much common sense of Googles directions from New York to Paris.
