Google Directions - New York to Dublin

If you ask Google Maps how to get to Dublin from New York (Toronto too), it actually tells you to drive to a wharf and swim across the ocean to France.

Honestly, step 23 is "Swim across the Atlantic Ocean - 3,462 mi".

Hilarious.

What frightens me is that some people would take this at face value.

I love Google Earth.

Try to track down all those military bases! (Handy tool for terrorists, eh?)

Also, some really cool sites. (like Kim Jong Il's palace)

I wish I was sketchy at the moment. I don't even have a valid excuse as to why I forgot what day it was...

Cale probably would. He's obsessed with Google.

lol

p.s. as IF they make u go thru two countries first before going to dublin... instead of just swimming directly there.

Posted by Cro_Addict on Mar-29-2007 23:32:

if you could actually swim and get there in 29 days that would be cool.

My personal fav is area 51. I could not believe that the entire area is viewable on GoogleEarth. I saved at least dozen shots just in case it "disappears" lol
