Google Purchases Its First Home

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lets-all-crash-on-the-couch dept.

noparkingzone writes "ZDnet is reporting that Google has purchased the garage that the company first called home for an undisclosed sum. The Menlo Park structure was owned by a friend of one of Brin's girlfriends. Leased to Serge and Brin by Susan Wojcicki for around $1,700 per month in 1998, the original Googleplex is intended to be preserved as part of the company's living history."

    Out here, $1700/mo would afford you about 3 mobile homes. You'd be the trailer park king! Not to mention it wouldn't be hard to get some spandex-clad lassies hanging all over you at all hours. Oh yes, it's fine at first, until you realize one of them is your aunt and now she's pregnant...And it makes it so difficult to work on your truck with the constant bickering about Oprah and what went on with Drake and Hunter today on Young and the Restless.
    Thats why God invented beer and marijuana...and wrestling.
    Yee-Haw!!
