Actual mistake on the Internet

Unpossible, you say? Get a whiff of this:

Anyone know why Ruth’s Chris Steak House pops up in Google Maps when you type in “Ruth’s Chris Steak House Oklahoma City.” It looks like it is a suite or pad at Quail Springs Mall. Must be a mistake.

Well, Google Maps does concede that it’s an “unverified listing.”

Further investigation determines that what’s actually at that location is Ruth’s Christian Book Store. A worthy store, no doubt, but no place for a serious steak.

    I once found that Google Maps had a Mellow Mushroom Pizza place in a rundown industrial area in Fort Worth. That was the first time I encountered the “unverified listing” phenomenon.

    Methinks Google’s not having the best of luck with that wiki principle.
