"It's "Googe" as in "Debbie Googe," the bassist for My Bloody Valentine, you POP-CULCHA ILLITERATES!!! Waah!"
 
most people read by looking at the shape of the word. so having the stem there is obviously there to be the "l" i did not even notice it till it was mentioned in this thread. i personally think its kind of cleaver.

not a mistake at all. it is a literary reference. Google the name "Googe"

Wrong. It does spell out "Google", and not "Googe".

I dont think Im wrong at all. Yes, it spells "Google" if you look at it that way...BUT Google has a fondness for making odd obscure references. You think it is just coincidence that it looks a little like "Googe" and that name happens to be the name of a 16th century poet?

Sorry pal, but I think if you really think this is just coincidence than you are kinda dense.
