As much as we may hope, Seattle is not in Italy. Checking the weather this morning (google search for weather 98122), I noticed things were a little odd. It’s partially cloudy, but there’s no way it is 55 degrees. Last time I checked, Messina, Italy is not a synonym for Capitol Hill. Apparently someone’s been monkeying with the zipcode data, because that really is the weather in Messina today. Google maps is still showing 98122 in the right place at least, unlike the nearby zipcode of 98109, which has a long standing bug of appearing to be in the center of Las Vegas.
