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.

Forum discussion on Twitter.

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

Sorry but there was no need to walk anywhere, call the eagles, fly over the volcano and drop it in, 20 minute job max................back to Hobbiton for some pints and weed....

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
