New York to London from Google

[bobw]

Google DOES have a sense of humor:

Take 60 seconds to do this.
1. Go to www.google.com

2. Click on "maps"

3. Click on "Get Directions"

4. Type New York, NY in the first box (the "From" box)

5. Type London in the second box (the "To" box)

6. Click "Get Directions"

7. Scroll down to Step #23

Then in step 40 you drive over the English channel!
