Did you do it Ezorisu? Wonder how it comes up with such absurd stuff. I can understand some strangeness creeping in, but "paddle surfboard across the Pacific Ocean"?!?

No, I went to Vancouver instead! My arms ended up hurting much more. In all seriousness, I think it is funny that the programmer geeks put this kind of thing in, but I am waiting for some bonehead North American to actually try to follow the instructions and try suing Google, sort of like the lady that drove her car into a building because the GPS/Navi unit told her to go straight.

Strange bunch. A school friend would constantly make binary jokes. Quote: There are 10 types of people in this world; those who understand binary those that do and those who don't.
