This is an old one, but I've never seen it. Michael Gray on Twitter noted that when you do walking directions in the (not new) Google Maps from The Shrine to Mordor, you get a funny response from Google.
Yes, Google says, "Use caution - One does not simply walk into Mordor. Clearly a fan of The Hobbit.
This does not seem to work on the new Google Maps.

It's the Shire, not "shrine" and the quote is from Lord of the Rings, not the Hobbit.

Lord Of The Rings not The Hobbit. The Hobbit is a journey to The Lonely Mountain, Lord Of The Rings is a journey to Mordor

Oh my god you are so wrong ! The Lonely Mountain in the North of Mirkwood and Mordor is way further south... http://blog.lefigaro.fr/hightech/assets_c/2011/06/middle-earth-map-33096.html

Dratted new Google maps!! They took out the fun of the original search page by eliminating "I'm Feeling Lucky" and now they've done it with Maps!!
