Memex 1.1

I didn’t believe this when I saw it on a blog, but it’s true. If you ask Google Maps for directions from Harvard University to King’s College, Cambridge, step 14 is:

Swim across the Atlantic Ocean. (3,462 mi 29 days 0 hours)

Wonder how they know it takes 29 days.

Interesting also that the route involves landing at Le Havre rather than anywhere in Cornwall.

Hmmm… Other people have noticed this too.
