* The fact the Larry and Sergey had the balls to admit that Google's original name, ''BackRub'' wasn't as vibrant or fresh as other websites that were around at the time. Larry suggested they should change the name to ''Googol'' since the web they were searching was extremely vast. But the two of them accidentally typed in Goog''le''. But even then, they realized they liked the new spelling better.
* How about the fact the Google… actually … BackRub, was originally a homework assignment that Larry and Sergey teamed up to create to scan the internet's pages, but quickly launched into a multi-million dollar franchise?

As far as I know, Magic Cat Academy runs entirely on HTML 5. Adpbe Flash had nothing to do with it.


** The Google Doodle for Halloween 2016 was another flash game about a wizard cat having to defeat a group of ghosts.

* Google itself is a Moment of Awesome. Especially when you consider life back in the 90s. There were only around 10 million pages at the time, and those pages took around thirty seconds to load at a time. Larry found a way to organize the pages of the internet in order of importance. He thought about how many sites linked to certain pages on the web. Then he and Sergey created a homemade server out of computer parts, electronics, and disks, and plastic bricks then placed in the hard disks. Then when their experiment was crawling and downloading the web, they duo got data to every page that was available at the time and ranked the results in order of importance. And best of all, the people got hours of their life back and search results were delivered quicker than ever.

Let's just say, there's a ''very'' good reason this company became Larry and Sergey's big break, and made them multi-millionaires.

[[folder:Larry Page and Sergey Brin]]

[[folder:Google Doodles]]
* Think about the very first doodle they ever had, which was the Burning Man Festival. During August 1998 the co-founders got the idea to tweak the logo in honor of the festival. On reason in particular this was awesome was because it showed the Google wasn't trying to hard to be serious, they weren't afraid to get creative to have a little fun every once in a while.
* The sole fact the Google has made thousands of doodles honoring historical figures and special occasions. It really makes them stand out amongst other search engines. First they only celebrated annual holidays from around the world, and then they started posting around two doodles a month, and then more after that. These doodles include, but aren't limited to:
** Halloween themed doodles on October 31st annually.
** Thanksgiving themed doodles on the fourth Thursday of November.
** Claude Monet's 161st Birthday (November 14, 2001)
** An interactive game of [[VideoGame/PacMan Pac-Man]] in honor of the game's [[MilestoneCelebration 30th anniversary (May 21, 2010)]]. Also Google's first interactive game doodle. [[UpToEleven So... double milestone.]]
** John Lennon's 70th Birthday- Google's very first animated video doodle. (October 8, 2010)
** Les Paul's 96th Birthday doodle has quickly proven to be a fan favorite. Within 48 hours, users recorded 40 million songs. (June 9, 2011)
** A commemoration of the [[MilestoneCelebration 50th anniversary]] of ''Series/DoctorWho'', like the above mentioned ''VideoGame/PacMan'' doodle, made into a Flash game.
** The Google Doodle for Halloween 2016 was another flash game about a wizard cat having to defeat a group of ghosts.
