Feeding Google - Pizza

We all know Google eats links but some folks I know are planning on feeding them Pizza. No I don't know why. See the trailer.

I didn't know Google eats links. I don't even know what that means. Care to explain?

From Wikipedia

Google began as a research project in January, 1996 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two Ph.D. students at Stanford University. They hypothesized that a search engine that analyzed the relationships between websites would produce better results than existing techniques which essentially ranked results according to how many times the search term appeared on a page. It was originally nicknamed "BackRub," because the system checked backlinks to estimate a site's importance.

Google has been all about links from the start. Without links there would have been no Google.

I still don't get the "eat" part.

It much the same way as when Jesus says "Eat me." Google feeds off links. If everyone blocked Google from reading their links; Google would starve to death. Google takes in raw links and builds complex data structures. Much the way we take in raw food and it becomes our cells, our body.
