Google Maps has a sense of humor. It’s almost like Google knows that people look to prank Maps like this. ;-)

Ask it for directions from Stanford, California to Stockholm, Sweden, and you’ll get them. The most important step is #33: “Swim across the Atlantic Ocean. 3,462 miles.” Step #34, by the way, is a slight right onto E05 before hitting a traffic circle. Imagine swimming all that way and then having to negotiate a traffic circle in a foreign country?!?

I found this on Reddit, where the comments thread makes a few good points, too.
