FWIW, it's common for map makers and atlas makers to include some false streets and features. This is to enable them to prove that someone else copied from them. Perhaps this is one of those receiving publicity?

Like "Geek Street" in San Francisco, a spurious feature like this is known as "bunny":

Yeah but if someone gives you a bag containing 1000 pounds of (minced) beef, then you empty the beef out and some of the beef is stuck to the insides of the bag, and you throw the bag away you can't claim that you didn't originally receive 1000 pounds of beef.

Is that like when some of the bytes stick to the inside of the series of tubes?

At first I thought that “Oh Just One” referred to the fact that there can be only one search engine (as in “there can be just one”), but I’m fairly sure it means “O Just One” in the sense of a person who is just, based on my limited Arabic.

And here I was thinking about what you say when offered a box of chocolates.

Have some tasty Internets?

Oh, just one.
