    I just came across something...did you know in January of 1996 before the Google Search engine was officially launched it was called "BackRub" so named for it's ability to analyze backlinks.

    The perfect question for a pub general knowledge quiz.
    But hey, we are all webmasters, therefore we've read the Google About Us page too many times we could be considered obsessed with Google ... us?

    So if Google was called "backrub" then what would you consider "Google giving you a happy ending"?

    To bad they changed the name, instead of googling it you could just rub it.

    Getting dropped from the index means you'd be rubbed out. :)

    and getting gray on the PR toolbar means you are being rubbed the wrong way.
