Goggles: Google Maps flight simulator -- Today's Time Waster
Goggles is a flight simulator that draws its imagery from Google Maps. Want to fly a cartoon plane over Washington, New York, Hong Kong, or Disneyland? There's 21 total locations, including Mars, and the Moon.
You can control the plane with your keyboard's arrow keys. The A and Z buttons control the speed. And you hit space bar to fire. That's right, you can take out your house if you feel like it.
Although Goggles isn't affiliated in any way with Google, the flight sim is in beta, giving it that air of authenticity.

Plane. P-l-a-n-e. While it might be a plain plane, it's plain to see that it's still a plane on a plane.

Hey, we're all entitled to a typo every now and again. I spelled it correctly in the next paragraph. Anyway, it's fixed now, thanks for the correction.

"Anyway, it's fixed now, and thanks for the correction." Alternatively, "Anyway, it's fixed now; thanks for the correction."
The fun just doesn't stop. ;)
