And if you use Google Earth to zoom on in the Google headquarters buildings, take a look at their swimming pool - another little 'easter egg' or joke there too.

There's a place in America called 'Shire' (I think it's in Orange County, California) and a place in Devon, UK called Mordor.

If you search them on Google Map's route finder, you'll see it'll take the average hobbit 31 days and 6 hours to get from the Shire to Mordor (provided they can swim the atlantic).
