#16Maybe a little less funny after acquiring Boston Dynamics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFrjrgBV8K0 http://www.bostondynamics.com/img/Atlas-x3c.lr.jpg
I don't think this is a coincidence, exactly. There was a protester shouting over the recent I/O keynote that Google is "a totalitarian company that builds robots that kill people" in reference to Boston Dynamics. Folks who think that the accusation is overblown have been joking about Google's "killer robot" program, so this easter egg is likely Google poking fun at the allegation.

#20What does killer-robots.txt mean. And what do /+LarryPage links point to? (His google plus profile?)
This is a joke: the robots.txt is a file on websites used to give instructions about their site to web crawlers.
Disallow: tells the robot that it should not visit those particular pages on a site. Or in this case, terminate those individuals.
