Sometimes, you find something silly on the internet and you can’t help but blog about it, right?

Now, I’ve always wanted to go to London. Before I die, I would like to … at least once. Why haven’t I gone yet? Well … it isn’t exactly the kind of place I can hop on my bicycle and just go… Right?

In the computer classes I teach, we like to cover some of the really cool things you can do on Google… search for information … look up movie show times and reviews … finding driving directions … So I was thinking, what if I wanted to go to Miami – how could I get there? Cool. That doesn’t sound so bad. Ok, what if I wanted to drive to Cancun (it is Spring Break, ya know.) Oh, drats! Google can’t tell me how to get there. Oh-well. How about London? What the [BLEEP]? Check this out…

I can “drive” to London?

Check out Step 20: Swim across the Atlantic Ocean (3,462 mi) … What?

Watch out London … here I come. (Just bear in mind that Google Maps also says it’ll take me over 29 days to get there… sigh)
