Those map programmers got some humor.

Haha. That's great.

Actually it does it for any European city from a US destination. Even Moscow!

I tried some other combinations, but apparently they will never recommend that you swim across the Pacific.

Too cold, I guess.

I find it interesting that they take you all the way up the coast before your waterborne portion of the journey (no matter where you define your point of origin). I could scoot over to AC on the AC Expressway and hit the drink much sooner.

I Doogled Father Ted, that was fun.
