    The best is called Google Google. It's by Google. It's a search engine, which searches Google, to find all the various products and services which have been released as beta (of course, Google Google is still in beta).

    If you type "Google" into Google, you can break the Internet. So please, no one try it, even for a joke.

    • After another round of acquisitions, including MySpace, Flickr, Yelp and Barry's Totally Awesome Whitesnake Tribute Page, Google runs out of websites to buy. It decides accordingly to acquire itself for an unprecedented $10.4 billion in stock. "Google is the leader in search and a strong competitor in several other online venues," says a Google spokesman. "It's only natural that Google would want to partner with such an internet powerhouse. That's why we're proud to announce Google Google, which will be in beta for the next 15 years."

    I'm sure there are a ton of other possibilities too, which I'll refrain from spelling out in detail since I've played a few too many hours of Grand Theft Auto.

    What, like beating up virtual hookers, and having Google look up the amount of money hookers in that area are likely to be carrying?
