Those crazy kids at Google, they’re really blowing our minds today. First they introduce an ingenious anti-drunk-emailing application for Gmail, and now they’ve brought us back to 2001, with an old version of Google.
 

In honor of the super search engine’s 10th birthday, Google’s founders, former Stanford students Larry Page and Sergey Brin, have resurrected the site’s oldest available index.
 

It’s like going back to the future. You’re transported to a time when the top results for “Facebook” included “ESPP facebook,” “Welcome to the Currier House Facebook,” and “The Online Facebook” but no actual worldwide mega social networking phenomenon to be seen. A little more googling around will reveal information about a new senator named Barack Obama and no information at all about the infamous Sarah Palin. I hardly remember a time before Sarah Palin came into our lives, and it’s only been a few short weeks.
 

Even stranger is that since this Google database is from January 2001, there’s not even a mention of September 11, unless of course you want to know about a Metallica Concert that took place in 1998. Freaky.
 

Check it out, and relive the good old days of middle school and a fresh-faced 17-year-old Britney Spears. Ah, to be young again.
