“Hey Bowlie!!! How's the left coast?”

“When does the movie about his life come out?”

“yeah, i saw that earlier, thought it was pretty cool!”

“Born Sept 23rd 1930”

“Same birthday as Springsteen...”

“The left coast is awesome, tree! Especially the way the Giants are playin'! (I'm trying to turn every thread into a baseball thread today....)”

“TO CUTE

”

“when you click on that google banner Happy Holidays shows up repeated in various languages - what is the fourth language displayed?”

“here is the text (I hope) :
”

“My guess would be Korean but I don't know for sure.”

“I have it on good authority that it is in fact Korean.”

“thanks - once HPM mentioned it then things sort of clicked in my head and I thought it was a very good possibility - good to hear that it is in fact Korean”

“I was thinking English, French, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish. It looks more Japanese than Korean to me.”

“A Japanese told me it's Korean.

“well the Japanese greeting is at the end of the second line I think - second line :

“another gear realated thread...how much does it weigh?”

“not sure, do a search and let us know”

“Happi Ho-ri-dei?

Fa ra ra ra ra

Subject Google's driving directions from New York to Dublin, Ireland
Body:

Ask Google Maps for driving directions from New York to Dublin, Ireland and they'll give them to you, including this step, "Swim across the Atlantic Ocean 3,462 mi." Weirdly, they instruct you to swim to France, drive the Channel to England, then take a ferry back to Ireland. Surely there's a more efficient totally impossible route?

"Of course, you'd have to swim about 4.9mph for 29 continuous days to achieve this time. Considering that the worlds fastest swimming records (in a 50-meter race) are just over 5mph... your mileage may vary
