I am the last person to link to Google Maps on the planet. I was avoiding doing it, mostly in protest of it being so darn cool, and yet only covering the USA.
Now, though, I’m forced to link to it. Not for cool factor. Not for reverse engineered javascript, XMLHttpRequest, DHTML goodness. No, not even so I can point out the nearest pizza joints or purveyors of pornography to the Whitehouse.
No, I’m going to link to a Buffy reference (and I’m not even a Buffy fan). I’m not quite sure how those people qualify themselves for that search, except perhaps for Miss Adrienne, who appears to be some sort of psychic consultant. Well, and Apple sort of qualify based on the whole serpent/satan thing in Genesis.
Oh yes — and Google. Only a deal with the devil himself would leave anyone capable of producing such a stunning web application.
You know how I know you’re not a Buffy fan? It’s Sunnydale, not Sunnyvale. And Satan never came to Sunnydale. The 7 “big evils” were (in order) The Master, Spike/Drusilla/Angel, The Mayor, Adam, Glory, The Triumvirate/Willow, and The First. Dracula also made a visit, but proved to be a bit of a nancy boy. But Satan never visited Sunnydale. The Beast (who was the only real Satan lookalike) only ever made it to LA, and only in Season 3 Angel, and Buffy never confronted him..
I think I’ll stop now, while I still have some people fooled that I have a life… 🙂
Er… yes… you see… um… that was on purpose — a trick question used to prove that I am not a Buffy fan. For spotting that, you win a fabulous prize!*
As for your Buffy fan status, I believe you’ve reached a new high. You appear to have memorised the intricate details of a purely fictional show that centres on a girl who thrusts phallic symbols into her opponents on a weekly basis. I, for one, am scared 🙂
