Fun with Google Maps

Some time ago, one of my co-workers showed me an "Easter egg" in Google Maps; if you try to get directions from London England to New York USA, the route would include a suggestion to "Swim across the Atlantic Ocean" (unfortunately Google has already removed this and it no longer works).

I was browsing Digg today and came across another Google Maps trick... while it's not really a Easter egg in the same sense as the one mentioned above, it's still fairly amusing (in a stupid kind of way)... apparently Google Maps can tell you how to get from Here to There, and it is a 7 hour & 51 minute long drive.

Comments from other users included suggestions such as how to get from Heaven to Hell in 4 hours 19 minutes and Birth to Death in 9 hours 5 minutes.

Here's my suggestion; how to go from Rags to Riches in 1 hour 24 minutes.

Anyways, the list can probably go on... feel free to leave a comment with your own suggestions!
