I was worried to post this at first, thought that maybe someone had seeded this, but I looked around and didn't find it. I would also seed instead of create an article but, I had trouble directly linking it to the directions.
Enjoy.
This is one of the many reasons why I love Google. The people that work there have a great sense of humor.
#1 - Mon Apr 9, 2007 6:28 PM EDTI guess I always thought that was somehow automatic. To think that someone has typed all that stuff in there! I want that job.
I have the Google homepage and Google talk and Gmail, and I can't decide which one I love the most. I am definitely a Google fan. I was watching a Youtube clip on why Google had been named the best place to work in America by Forbes (if I remember correctly) and those people have it made. The sheer quantity of on the job perks was mind blowing. Game rooms and gourmet food and doctors and massages and barbers and swimming pools. I sent in my application.
Hilarious. I always suspected that to be a very serious matter to google. wonder who did that?

#4 - Mon Apr 9, 2007 9:54 PM EDTYou can only do this from any place To paris, you cant try any other country as the destination.
#6 - Tue Apr 10, 2007 11:58 AM EDTI originally saw this with some destination in England, but you ended up going to France first and then using the Chunnel to get to England.
I suspect in their algorithmic weighted graph, that pier in NYC and the other pier in France are linked, so any trans Atlantic trip will use it (eg Los Angeles to Moscow).
