Google’s experimental time line feature shows that the development of the Linux operating system started back in February 1911. Then from the late 1920s onwards Linux development came to a halt, only to be continued in the 1970s.
Obviously, this is a data hiccup. The explanation? Google is misunderstanding the string “2.6.11” – the Linux kernel version number, mentioned on a Wikipedia page – to be a date, causing this false positive.

Update: Google fixed this now. [Thanks Nathan!]
