Go there: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&sadd...71238,82.265625

 

Then read indication number 23.

Tell me that's a joke.

[Guest Prosis]

It's really not...this link I took from a blog. So I tried it myself with Montreal to Paris and it says the same thing:

what? you never swam across the Atlantic Ocean?

[Guest Prosis]

I did once, well, swam halfway then came back...I tell ya these cold waters will sober you up real fast...

[sodamntired]

has anyone tried swimming across the ocean?

 

i know they've tried hot-air ballooning around the world. they have flown around the earth. they have swam from Alcatraz to San Fran. But has anyone attempted that, for PR at the very least?

What the hell? We have to call Google Maps dumb because the google people have a sense of humour?

 

Would you prefer it if they directed you to the website of their favourite airline?

[Prometheon]

It's obviously a joke. I thought it was cute/clever.

[Matt]

Yeah, it was actually kind have amusing.

I'm sorry I insulted the holy engine, please accept my most sincere apologies...you can e-lapidate me if you want.

 

As for the rest of you, I think maybe it could be a programming mistake because if you try it the other way around it doesn't work. But I might be wrong

Possibly the greatest triumph of endurance is Benoit Lecomte swimming across the Atlantic ocean.
