What's (a) Google wave?

1. A secret gesture Google employees use to identify one another when they’re on a spy mission in, say, China.

2. A unisex hairstyle available free of charge to Google employees in on-site styling salons.

3. Modeled on ‘the wave’ at sporting events, it’s gesture of solidarity among thousands upon thousands of people in a public place, such as Times Square in New York City, Piazza San Marco in Venice, or Tiananmen Square in Beijing.

4. Like microwaves, except very much higher in frequency. Used to carry the net traffic of ‘preferred’ users. Or perhaps it’s used in weapons designed to vaporize communications satellites.

5. A super tsunami created when an asteroid plunges into the ocean.

6. A special weave in the fabric of the jerseys required of all ‘inner circle’ Google employees.

7. The pattern of revisions to history books as a consequence of changes in the page-rank algorithm.

8. Earth tremors resulting from the explosion of a Goggle data center as a consequence of a massive viral attack.

9. The gesture Sergy and Larry make to the remaining inhabitants of earth when they set course for Mars in their solar sailer.
