Fun facts about Google are at your fingertips.

What’s the first thing you do when you can’t figure something out at work? Or, when your boss asks you to complete a task in Excel and you’re not exactly sure where to start? Or, when your friend wants to meet downtown at a restaurant you’ve never heard of? I can hear you yelling it at me: “Duh, I Google it.”

Well, the infographic below solves that problem—you can now check out 26 fun facts (that you can use to impress your friends). Our favorite? The name was actually a misspelling. Whoops!
