* TyopOnTheCover: Amusingly enough, the company [[https://www.webcitation.org/68ubHzYs7?url=http://graphics.stanford.edu/~dk/google_name_origin.html got its name this way]]. The founders were brainstorming names when Sean Anderson suggested naming it after the math term for 10[[superscript:100]], and they were pleasantly surprised that "Google" was available as a web domain. It was only after they registered it that they realized the term is actually spelled ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol Googol]]''. Googol.com was already taken, so the misspelled version stuck.

By completing every sidequest, the player will encounter Momo, the black cat from the Halloween doodles...and both cats will immediately remark that they've played the other one's game, leading to confusion before they both decide not to dwell on it.
