Rich26189 writes:About a year ago, Zachary McCoy took a bike ride around his neighborhood in Gainesville, Florida. It may have been forgettable to him, but not to history. Because McCoy used an app to track his mileage, the route was forever etched in the Google-verse and attached to his name.On the day of this ill-fated bike ride, McCoy passed a certain neighbor's house three times.
