Here is an interesting place that does not exist. There is now a web page
about it on Wikipedia and countless references popping about all over the
web.

Locals from Lancashire in Britain are shocked by the search-engine giant's
ability to create a phantom town right in their neighbourhood. "Argleton"
does not exist, and has never existed ... but it's a different story on
Google Maps.

Now all we need to do is build a school on this site and we will have an
virtual learning space. :-)
