TGIFriday’s is offering a Jack Daniel’s brand appetizer and two Jack Daniel’s brand meals for $20 and thinks it’s a great idea.  I’m thinking that spending $20 on a bottle of Jack that will last me at least a dinner, breakfast, lunch, and ANOTHER dinner and saving myself from having to sit in a TGIFriday’s sounds like a much better idea.

Google has mapped a village known as Argleton, located in England.  Place looks interesting, not somewhere I would have ever thought about visiting but wouldn’t be bad if I stumbled upon it.  My interest grew exponentially when I found out that the place doesn’t actually exist.  It is listed on Google Maps with no explanation for it being there.

Google’s response is pretty lackluster, “Google Maps data comes from third party data sources. While the vast majority of this information is correct, there are occasional errors.”  It’s fine, don’t blame Google, whatever.  Do however explain how a village gets made up, placed somewhere, has pictures, and gets placed in online directories.

A Google search brings up a whole bunch of conspiracy theories, complaints, news stories, economic afflictions, and other (sometimes) entertaining reactions.  I started to sift through it all to give a summary, but got blown away.  Search at your own risk.

Argleton will soon be the road trip destination of high schoolers looking for a specific group of fields.
