KZ Writes Good
The internet is a huge bathroom wall, and any halfwit with a keyboard and a connection has an opportunity to scrawl on it. Take me, for instance. My name is KZ. For a good time, come find me at Prosaic Shades of Gray.

Nitpicking
I’m no cartographer, nor am I a computer programmer, but I do know a thing or two about local geography when it comes to city streets. I just referred to Mapquest for driving instructions to my brother’s work, which seem straightforward enough. So long as I drive my hydrogen-powered, emission-free flying car, I should have no problem maneuvering a direct merge from one street onto another one that lies two and half miles away. Mapquest has given me ridiculously roundabout instructions before, but this is a new low. Reduced to copping out and simply creating fictional road connections? Say it ain’t so, Mapquest.






Wouldn't the car just need to be a flying car, and not necessarily hydrogen-powered and emission-free?
amen me.
but seriously, mapquest does give the most ridiculous directions. i can understand if the map database is outdated and there are some streets that were added or blocked off that the database hasn't caught up with yet. but as far as the majority of directions it gives, they never provide the fastest or best way to get from A to B.
yeah i definitely agree with you, francisco. for some reason they like having you go in a circle..don't know why that is really..
