    I guess Google will have to promote "don't be evil" in a country founded by convicts.

    > The food at google is said to be one of the finest you can get anywhere.

    That statement says alot about the eating habits of geeks and also the power of Google lore. I'm sure the trash at Google HQ smells like roses and that their staff is so clean and tidy that the restrooms never needs cleaning, but nevertheless Google employs 99 virgins that clean them after every visit there.

    These internships are quite difficult, you are only given a computer and internet connection and then are asked to Google search for all your supplies, co-workers, and even the bathroom.

    No, like all large tech companies Google employs hundreds or even thousands of virgins.
