I don't know if it's "real" or not but I received one of those "joke of the day" type emails at work the other day which provided directions (from either Google or Mapquest, I don't remember) on how to get from New York City to Paris, France. It was pretty normal looking ("Turn right at 43rd Street, proceed 1.2 miles, time: 5.1 minutes..."), until Step #27, and then things went slightly weird- "Swim across Atlantic Ocean, 1700 miles, time: 29 days". Pretty funny when you first see it!Perhaps when I retire in 20 years(!) if no one else has published a book such as this I will follow-through on this idea. I know absolutely nothing about books or publishing or maps, but yeah, I think the educational value of this would be high. And to the extreme, heck, forget Minnesota- Can you imagine a book of overlaying maps of Western Europe? Or Greece? Or anywhere else that has a vast historical past? Cool!
Damn you, EG! Now you got me all fired-up about this!
Ergo grex, ergo sum.
