If you try to getting walking directions in Google maps from The Shire to Mordor it cautions that one does not simply walk into Mordor. Oh shishi, you got Boromir working at Goggles now? I thought he died by orc arrow in The Two Towers. Because I remember crying. HARD. Manly tears. "Nothing you do is manly." Fine -- little ladylike tears, shit!

Thanks to tom, who agrees Google Maps should include a "You shall not pass!" anytime there's a one-way bridge in the directions.

  • I love google sometimes. I'm going to have to test google's sense of humor on a few other nifty locations.

  • According to Google, you can't walk into Mordor, but you can Kayak across the Pacific Ocean to Japan.
