Things I learnt about Google last night

Last night I learnt:

• They have very swish offices.
• People who attend these things are mostly normal.
• Google love testing. They have programmer notes on testing above the urinals in the loos!
• The adhesive in their paper cups dissolves in alcohol. Red wine, for example.
• Designing a touch interface for chess is tricky.
• It’s possible to implement a webmail system using only a single monolithic MS SQL Server stored procedure.
