At an internal tech talk, I'm standing in the back of the room with my Googler friend JA. We're listening to a presentation about some infrastructure.
Me: Wow, this is really cool. This is amazing. I can't wait to use this.
JA: Yeah. How much do you think XX [the speaker] contributes to Google?
Me: He's like the G that makes up Google.
... Later, the speaker finished, and a second speaker went to the podium.
Speaker #2: I'm going to talk about project Y. First, an overview of how Google search works. [shows slide with blob of "The Web" connected to "crawler" and then "indexer"] Now, some engineers here may not know what the indexer does.
Me: [whispering to JA] Really?
JA: [smiling] How about the crawler. What does that do?
Me: He should explain what "The Web" is.
JA: [gesturing toward the Google logo on every slide] Or what is "Google"?

If a crawler crawls, what does a spider do? ;-)
If it has an index, then it must have a table of contents, bibliography and epilogue as well, right?

You are either extremely lucky or extraordinarily brilliant?
Selling off your Google shares just before they take a dump and then on top of that Microsoft buys Yahoo...
