I tried it from multiple locations, you can do it from any city to any European city, so far.

Hey, this is reallly nice one…
Well, maybe until you view “22. Turn right at Long Wharf” and “24. Slight right at E05″ in detail - you’ll see that the line across the Atlantic starts and ends at ports, but whatever, if it’s a bug, then it’s definitely hilarious one…

But, if someone actually tried and failed, could they sue?

@Vlad: you’re welcome. I couldn’t stop giggling when I saw it, I just had to blog it forward.
@C Pietras: You know, I didn’t even think to try other European cities. That’s good to know, thanks and thanks for stopping by.
@J Sveda: I agree.
@DocZyus: If anyone did, I sure hope the judge laughs him out of the courtroom.

Well, if you tried and failed, I don’t really think there would be anyone left to sue….

Nice find Teli, but I must say Im not surprised..
i have encountered other instances also.. even their error msgs are kinda humourous.
Btw, i think ur blog has allotted too much space to ads.. what do u think?

You’re right, Sandeep. It’s no suprise that Google throws these amusing quips in their applications every so often and it’s a welcome change from the norm.
I look at it this way: the adverts aren’t obstructing the content in anyway (i.e. ads between paragraph blocks) and it’s my blog, therefore, I can play with the ads however I want to.
Your input, however, is duly noted.

Good answer Teli re: ad space.
I think you actually don’t have enough.
@Sandeep
Your comment is very much like stepping into some one’s house and say they have way too many TVs. I am not sure if you have noticed that in http://www.buniek.com blogspot is missing.
