Google Announces Google Washington
Complementary service to Google Earth
Google Inc, of some place in California, announced today that it would release a new service, Google Washington, as a complement to its Google Earth service. Ron Elway, a spokesman for the somewhere-in-California-based company said “Given the popularity of our Google Earth product, we have decided to cover other regions of the known universe. We have chosen to roll out Google Washington this year, and will building other services in the new future.” Speaking off the record, a highly-placed employee at Google said that depending on the success of Google Washington, the company would develop similar applications for Google Fairyland, Google Wonderland and Google Never Never Land.
According to Elway, the service has been in the works for quite some time, but Google faced technical challenges due to certain physical laws that function differently in Washington than in the rest of the universe. “It turns out that while arsenic in the water is bad for you on planet earth, it appears not to be the case in Washington. Furthermore, while carbon dioxide emissions from human activity causes global temperatures to rise on earth, neither CO2 emissions nor the direct addition of massive quantities of hot air have any effect on climate on planet Washington according to what our sources could gather.” Elway went on to say that although neither of these physical anomalies affect mapping directly, the Google team needed to verify that there were no other physical differences that would cause problems with the mapping application. Elway also noted that apparently observations of planet earth from Washington are similarly difficult to make. “We keep picking up communications from Washington that say that based on their data, the war in Iraq is going well. This leads us to believe that some people in Washington have difficulty making accurate observations of planet earth, so we were worried that the reverse might be true. This is especially true since the Google astronomers who identified those who are currently in power in Washington were unable to determine what planet they are currently on. This should absolutely be considered beta software” Elway added in closing.
The Google Washington service will allow every earthling with an internet connection to get 3D views of Washington down to the street level with enhancements for some areas such as popup numbers for lobbying dollars that have been consecrated to programs housed in a given building. Google also hopes to integrate this service with Google Maps so that visitors to the site could get travel distances from Washington to planet earth.
