Google has always done things a little bit differently, and that works to keep things fresh, immersive and consistently progressive
1. As part of their green initiative, Google regularly rents goats to mow the lawns of their mountain view.
The employees claim they find it calming to see goats outside the windows.
2 . Thanks to Google Instant, you can't actually use the 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button anymore.
Google Instant' starts searching for whatever you type as soon as you type it, thereby leaving no time or possibility to click that button. The 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button apparently cost the company $110 million every year, because it would bypass all ads to go to the top search immediately.
3. Google uses a web tool called foo.bar to recruit new employees based on what they search for online.
If Google sees that you're searching for specific programming terms such as Python, they might just ask you to apply for a job.
4. The first ever Google Doodle was a Burning Man stick figure that came out on August 30, 1998.
It came about when Larry and Sergey visited the Burning Man Festival in Nevada. It was added to the homepage to let users know they were out of office and couldn't fix technical issues like a server crash.
5. There's a rotated version of Google known as 'Google Mirror', which shows everything in a mirrored avatar.
It might sound like just a fun and pointless add on, but it was actually useful in circumventing the Great Firewall in China that banned Google.
