We interrupt this regularly scheduled work day to bring you a very clever distraction, courtesy of Google.

Google Maps is playing an April Fool's joke a little early by allowing users to play Pac-Man directly in the program. Pac-Man can run through the streets of any city you choose, dodging ghosts and collecting fruit with the guide of your computer keyboard.
The Pac-Man game is an option at the bottom of the screen next to the option for satellite view. It's unclear how long it will stay.
Google employs practical jokes every year on April Fools' Day, and it featured an interactive Pac-Man game for its Google Doodle in 2010, the game's 30th anniversary.
