Measure distance in pools in Google Maps

Under Maps Labs in Google Maps, which can be found in the lower left corner, is a measuring tool that can be activated. You can choose the geeky option and measure the distance based on the size of Olympic swimming pools, for example. The English Channel is at least 822 pools in width :-)
