8. I tried Miami to London

and it gave me directions to NY and then to London.

However, Los Angeles to Shanghai could not be done.

3. My friend was just telling me a story about a woman in his office sending out

and email inviting fellow employees to join the company softball league in San Francisco. The problem was she accidentally sent the email to the entire company, including the offices in London, Tokyo, etc. For days she was getting the funniest replies from people asking if anyone wanted to carpool from half-way around the globe, or if the games could start a little later to accommodate people getting there from the airport. Someone even sent out a fake Google map with "driving directions" from London to the park in San Francisco.

6. I love stories like that.

Nice to know that humor is alive and well worldwide. :D

But I'd love to see that set of directions to S.F. from London; I'll wager the Bering Straits and/or Greenland was involved. :rofl:

10. Funny, but doesn't work on the west coast!

"We could not calculate driving directions between los angeles and tokyo."

[mcscajun]

12. Hmmmm. Either they've decided that IS possible to swim the Atlantic

but not the Pacific, or the West Coast database team has No Sense of Humor.

The former seems just silly, and the latter highly improbable. :D
