You've probably already seen this if you read reddit/digg/whatever. However, I found the comments on reddit really funny.

I like how Google just straight up tells you to swim 3400+ miles across the Atlantic ocean....

They also give a time estimation of 29 days ... that's a good constant clip of about 5mi/hr swimming, talk about getting worn out.

I find it more impressive that now they tell you which roads are toll roads. Now if only they had an option to give you directions avoiding toll roads.
