Google map directions to Paris from NYC

Those Google guys – always a sense of humor…

That’s what makes them hot right now. I remember when Yahoo! was like that – every day a new trick or utility that seemed to either amaze or help out. Google also may fall prey to its own success, playing it safe, killing off new product acquisitions after paying way too much for them, trying to “rationalize” its product offerings and business units, or just plain having their shareholders demand more in quarterly earnings, but for now they still have some fun.

I tried to run this map from San Francisco, but had no luck. Does anyone know if this is a hoax? This comes from dadblog.drscottfranklin.net.
