[COFF] Happy birthday, Google...

[Dave Horsfall]

Google was founded on this day in 1998, by a couple of uni students who 
went on to become millionaires; the verb "to google" has in fact entered 
the lexicon, but these days I use DuckDuckGo (remember: you are not 
Google's customer, but their product).

There is some confusion over the name "Google"; some say that someone 
couldn't spell the mathematical number "googol" (10**100), and others 
claim that is was a joke on their part, which I suspect is revisionist 
history.

I would appreciate a correction, and need I point out that a web reference 
may not cut the mustard?

Thanks.
