Larry Page met Sergey Brin at Stanford University when they were both computer science graduate students. Sergey was
a Stanford student. He was in charge of showing Larry around the school. Larry was visiting from Michigan, where he
had recently accomplished a strange, but amazing feat: He built a working inkjet printer all by himself---out of plastic
Lego toy pieces!
The two became partners. They thought that there was a better way to search for information on the Internet so they
invented a new kind of "search engine." Was the world ready for Larry and Sergey's new "search engine"? Not really.
The two shopped their idea around to several computer companies. A few were interested, but none was willing to put up
money. So, in 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin started their own company. They called it Google, after the name for
the very large number that is written as 10100, or 10 with a hundred zeroes after it.
Google seemed to grow by word-of-mouth. It loaded well, it was easy to use, and it worked well. One person would tell
another person about it. In a few years, Google became one of the best-known sites on the Internet. How successful was
Page and Brin's idea? In 2004, Google's stock was offered to the public on the open market. Both Page and Brin became
instant billionaires. In fact, their good idea had come a very long way!

Can Animals Lie?

Can animals lie? They can certainly be deceitful. For example, an insect called a hoverfly does not sting, but it looks just
like a stinging wasp. Birds can't tell the difference between hoverflies and wasps, so they stay away from both of them.
 In a similar way, many animals deceive using color and shape. Some insects look just like sticks or leaves. Some fish
look just like rocks. Some butterflies have wing patterns that look just like the eyes of an owl. Or consider the case of the
anglerfish. On the front of its head, it has a small knob that it wiggles to attract smaller fish. When a fish comes near, the
anglerfish pulls back the wiggling "bait" and grabs the fish!

Do any of these examples show that animals actually lie? That depends on what you call a lie. If a lie is simply
deception, then many animals lie. But if a lie is a choice between true and false, these examples are probably not lies.
Hoverflies, for example, cannot choose to look like wasps. Butterflies cannot choose the patterns on their wings. In that
case, human beings are probably the only organisms that can choose to tell lies.

____ 61. Hoverflies sting just like wasps.

____ 62. Some butterfly wings have a pattern that looks like the eyes of an owl.

____ 63. The anglerfish catches fish by wiggling its "bait."
