An interestingly new write was discovered in Google's .htaccess file and I thought to share;

[google.com...]

Happy Halloween

You've got to scroll down a good way to see it:

User-agent: Kids
Disallow: /tricks
Allow: /treats

Bummer. That "/treats" URL-path returns a 404 even if you change your user-agent to "Kids" -- Was hoping for an Easter egg at google.com/treats ... Nope.

That's cute, but have you clicked on the piece of candy on Google? Then clicked again, and again...? That's even better!
