I love it! They do have a sense of humour. All of the links lead to their legitimate pages. Leave it to you, Bill, to find such as this!

Thanks!!

I love it as well! Peg it looks real, because the Google people have done it themselves.

There's a lot more detail on how PigenRank works than PageRank. I don't know, maybe it is the truth about how it's done. ;-)

A fine way to be made an April fool by the Google people themselves. More about it here. (Found by Google)

the crowning touch to the Google page was the images of pigeons sitting at the computers...someone WORKED on this ....

and after some of the 'interesting' search results I've gotten, I wonder if it ain't half true...

Phd's will have a totally different meaning for me from now on.

I just love the concept of all these city centre pigeons being rounded up by "pigeon hunting dogs". It's priceless.

At least the Google jokes clutter up their servers rather than the hidden stuff that adds even more bloat to microcrap

I certainly can't add anything to this brilliant website.

Yeah, I saw this a while ago. Gotta love it...

Charlie, release that poor bird at once! It could be a google-dove!
