5 April 2007: Google It!

Staff at Internet search-engine Google had to do a different type of searching this week, after a pet snake escaped in the building.

A member of staff brought the 3-foot long python into work because he didn't want it to be left alone all day. It escaped during the weekend and started roaming around the building. The owner claimed the snake was dangerous to mice but not humans.

Happily, a company spokesman was able to report that Kaiser the snake was located in the office and had been taken home by his owner.

Unusually for Google, how many other snakes they found and how long the search took was not reported.
