Google Killer Robots.txt File Blocks Terminators From Co-Founders

Google posted a new robots.txt file at google.com/killer-robots.txt that is designed to help secure the Google co-founders, Larry Page & Sergey Brin.

The file says:

Google Killer Robots.txt

User-Agent: T-1000
User-Agent: T-800
Disallow: /+LarryPage
Disallow: /+SergeyBrin

There are actually some Googlers who are upset that they are not included on the disallow list. Okay, maybe he was joking.

T-1000 and T-800 are two earlier versions of the Terminator models used in the two original movies from The Terminator.

This is pretty funny.
