3) Google uses diffrent measurements of time for their searches- http://i.imgur.com/kFaAo.png

5) Google Translate for Animals- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I24bSteJpw

Uhhh ... it is the opposite ... the town of Topeka, KS changed it's name to Google, KS for a month.

Google did not change its corporate name to Topeka, no matter what this says: http://googleblog.blogspot.com....html
