    Google's name is a play on the word 'Googol'

    Technically, Google was founded by Sergey Brin and Larry Page on September 4, 1998. For the first seven years, the company observed its birth anniversary on the said date.

    Google's 23rd birthday Doodle is a simple two-tier cake

    In 2005, Google decided to arbitrarily shift its birthday celebrations to September 27 to coincide with the date of the announcement of the record number of pages the company had indexed. Google's birthday Doodle today is a simple two-tier birthday cake animation that has a candle replacing the "L" in Google. The cake has an animated face and tips its upper-tier as a greeting.
