Some (or maybe all) of you have probably seen this already, but I thought it was funny so have a look:

Take a few seconds to do this, I guarantee you will show 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)
6. scroll down to step #23

Knight

HAHA that is hilarious, you are right i am going to show people this.

OdiousBarbarian

hahahahahahah!
that is AMAZING!

Arrow

Oddly enough, you can use Google Maps to get from NY to London, but not from NY to Beijing China.

Hmm.....

The chinese government would not allow US based satellites to take photos of thier country.











I dont know if thats true or not, but it sounded good

Arrow

Uh...Let the little goobers try and stop us.

Anyway, it's not true. You can get sat views of China, as well as streets an' such. Go look up Hong Kong and look at all the little boats! I haven't found a country that has been blocked. There are some places where you can't get a satellite photo of, such as some government buildings, though.

Here's a funny one: Do a Google Maps search for "weapons of mass destruction"

It shows a map of the US with 9 sites! lol
Too bad the Oval Office didn't come up...

Knight

wow Superman lives in Spain. Just type in "Superman" and it shows his address and phone number!

Knight

Also I typed "Earth to the Moon" and it gave me directions..but i don't know if they are legit.

Arrow

There's a city in western USA called Moon.

Knight

Did you type it in google? Cause "The Moon" is not in the USA. But Earth was.

Lalo

That was great!
Although it was step 24 for me

Arrow

Yeah, when I put in "The Moon," it gave me 6 choices, all within the US.


The Google crew didn't do a thurough job. You only get the humor step if you go east to Europe. Going west to any of the Asian continent, Australia, or the poles, doesn't give directions.

I should try this on my Tom Tom.
