Google - man's greatest invention

After Lip's inspiring post, I'll reveal a few more of Google's best-kept secrets.

There is no OFFICIAL link to this page housed on google's servers. It lists ALL misspellings of 'britney spears' as entered into Google's search engines. The data's kinda old, though.

Just launched in on 20th July 2005 to commemorate the 36th anniversary of man's first landing on the moon is moon.google.com. Nothing to get really excited about here.

And if you're no satisfied with 2D satellite pictures of your house, check out earth.google.com. But you gotta have a moderately new PC, some funky 3D graphics card and broadband to download the Earth onto your screen.

Incidentally, there are two flags on the moon. One is the Stars & Stripes, the other is a blue flag with a huge maize M -- the flag of the University of Michigan. All the crew members of Apollo 15 were Michigan alumni. So if anyone intends to study aerospace, Michigan is the place to be.

Sorry, can't help myself.
