Hiya,

I want to take you all on a little journey, showing what this world is coming to. It's damn hilarious, but odd all the same.

Go to Google (I assume you don't need a link for this) and then click on "Maps". Click on the "get directions" button. Set start-point A as "The Shire" and B as "Mordor". Read the sage advice from google.

It's absolutely hilarious. Just thought I'd share this with you guys. Enjoy,

Darvy

Doesn't work for me, just gives me "did you means"

You need to press walking as well...

Pretty good, but I've seen better.

I like the one where you jetski across the ocean.

If you want to go from Japan to USA it has been known to suggest canoeing across the Pacific Ocean...

This is part of what you get if you try to go from japan to china

Brilliant! I just tried it myself but mine was direction seven-hundred and two for "jetski across the pacific ocean". Pure class.

It comes up as number one if you enter more specific locations than japan/china as a whole.

simply brilliant, another google easter egg

I got directions from a business or something called Shire in Chehalis, WA to a place called Mordor Tattoo in Arlington, WA. The directions would let me simply walk into Mordor (Tattoo).

You CAN simply walk into Mordor. It's actually pretty close to me which doesn't surprise me at all. Lots of people here look inbred and use grunts to communicate.

Sounds to me like an increasingly alarming proportion of the British population. (And I say this as a Briton, not some pompous UK-hater or something). I never made that connection to Orcs, though...

I almost made a rather politically-insensitive comment concerning the modern equivalent of the Uruk-Hai, but decided against it. (It was only marginally offensive, I swear...!)

Political correctness is highly overrated, it's actually a curse of the modern world IMO.

There are meant to be lots of other Google Easter Eggs aren't there? Anyone know of any?

I know there are also meant to be things you can see on Google Earth if you look hard enough.

This is what others have found (not advertising, i swear!)

Lol the Chuck Norris one is good:

Google won't search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don't find Chuck Norris, he finds you.
