I was shocked to see: PING www.l.google.com (66.249.89.104): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 66.249.89.104: icmp_seq=0 ttl=243 time=15.3 ms 64 bytes from 66.249.89.104: icmp_seq=1 ttl=243 time=16.6 ms 64 bytes from 66.249.89.104: icmp_seq=2 ttl=243 time=16.7 ms 64 bytes from 66.249.89.104: icmp_seq=3 ttl=243 time=16.5 ms ... Man the internet is faster than I remember... Google, or somebody, is apparently doing something clever, because according to traceroute[*], not only is there an unsually low number of hops to the above google machine ("only" 11), but it's located in Japan (where I am), avoiding the big trans-pacific delay (~100ms, generally) that I get with most U.S. sites.
