New York to Paris; soaking wet

My friend, Ralph, clued me in that it's not "All work and No play" at Google. Someone took the time, between buying everything else in the world, to insert a little humor on their Google Maps page.

Go to Google Maps then type "New York to Paris." Things get interesting around step 23.

These little hidden jokes are called "Easter Eggs."
They're hidden in computer software, movies, music, art, books, or even your watch, by the geeks who write the computer code.
There are thousands of them, and if you go to this site, you'll be busy amusing yourself for a long time.
