"A Festivus for the rest of us!" (Yay, Seinfeld!). The above link references another "Easter Egg" from Google -- when someone searches for "Festivus," the results appear with a "Festivus pole" to the left of the search results.

This article is essentially another instance in a long line of "Easter Eggs" which Google has hidden into its search results. The entire (?) list can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google%27s_hoaxes_and_easter_eggs

I thought this would be an interesting blog post because it is another unique/quirky way which Google differentiates itself from other search engines (which we did not cover in class).

Check out the Wikipedia article above and try them for yourself -- enjoy!
