On Bob Allen's facebook page he suggested we check out the directions from China to Taiwan. I didn't know why, but I checked it out. And I had to laugh and call my husband over to the computer to see for himself. Really funny!

☺ NEED A LAUGH? ☺

1 - Open Google Maps (maps.google.com)

2 - Click (get directions)

3 - Type China as your starting point.

4 - Type Taiwan as your destination.

5 - Click get directions again.

6 - Read step 48! .......You will not believe the recommendation!!!!

By the time you get to step 49, will you be in condition to keep going?

(Huff puff)

That was funny Susan. Good to see that Google has a sense of humor.

Jim - Somehow I can't help but wonder if the humor was unintentional.

Susan: Just hilarious. Just a little mid-day swim. See what happens when you forget to join the Auto Club. AAA wins again. <silly smile>

Susan, I used to be able to do the same from NY to London.

The directions would say swim (unknown) miles

Now it just says it cant calculate the distance.

Thanks for sharing

Apparently someone at Google has a great sense of humor! Great find Susan. Thanks for the chuckle today!

And if you get directions from Los Angeles to Japan, it tells you to kayak to Hawaii and then Kayak the rest of the way across the Pacific. At least you don't have the swim the whole way!

Funny but, Craig said exactly what I was going to say! My husband and I figured that out last night and wonder why the directions have not yet been corrected. It seems that it's the talk of the internet this week!
