Check out step 24... HA!

Swim across the Atlantic Ocean? That's a great route to take . Google knows how to joke around, but most of their tricks are going away. Like the trick where you put in Failure and press I'm feeling Lucky, doesn't work anymore. And I read that some other tricks are slowing fading away. This is still funny, Google you Jokster you!

1. Go to google.com.

2. Click on Maps.

3. Click on Get Directions.

4. From: New York, New York.

5. To: Paris, France.

6. Then, read line #24.

7. Laugh

AHAHAHAHA that is awesome, I would think that was intentionally too, it would been even funnier if they mention that you had to take plane for this. Hmm.. I tried a few other places but it hasn't kicked yet, but I keep trying and see what I can come up with little trick.

That was hilarious! I'm pretty sure it was intentional as well. Dosent the Get directions thing give you driving directions only? That would kind of explain it. I haven't gotten it to work with any other places yet.

That's hilarious! They could've said "take a plane", but they had to be funny. lol

Haha, nice discovery.

[Dearster]

That is hilarious, been trying a few more and every single one comes up as Swim across.... still. Nice find though, Yea google are well known for their funny creations and pranks etc, most famously their April Fools Day Jokes.

I do like Google's humour. It may seem a bit pathetic but at least they don't seem uptight such as Microsoft. They manage to come across as professional but still have humour.
