Google &
In research for another blog entry I did some “research” on Google and did a search for ampersand (the single character). I found the top 5 results amusing:
- Barnes & Noble.com
- AT_&_T: The World’s Networking Company
- Food and Drug Administration Home Page
- United States Patent and Trademark Office Home Page
- MapQuest: Home
Which one of these just doesn’t seem to fit? What connection could I be missing?
