So what has Google done? They’ve made it official.

LOL – too funny. Yeah, how did you find that? They must be trying out some new algorithm changes or metrics.

It was floating around the web and I noticed it. I also thought it was kinda funny.
Even more interesting that they can get away with not making manual edits to search results, but still have a little fun with the engine.
