After six pages I note a serious lack of actual Google Map secrets, so here is one you may not know.

If you type "Pirate's Treasure" in the Google Maps search field, you'll get a topographical* view of the tattoo on Blackbeards head! According to Google the treasure is buried only 2.0 miles from a Ramada Inn and 5.7 miles from an area described by Google as being inhabited by "dragons"!

Good Heavens!

Well, I am a hairdresser, you know. We tend to get all the gossip before it hits mainstream.

(Women don't need maps. We have this unique ability to actually stop and ask for directions. Men do not have this particular gene.)

Gee, your map smells terrific!
