       | Also they really missed an opportunity to reference "Gbps" (goat
       | bites per second).

       | We will never know how many goats an M2 MPB can teleport...

       | > Unbeknownst to most users, Google's Chrome Web browser is
       | powered by a distributed array of goats. In order to prevent the
       | creatures from clogging the tubes, Google uses teleportation to
       | move them between endpoints on the network. A hidden feature in
       | Chrome's task manager allows users to see the total number of
       | goats that are actively being teleported for each running browser
       | tab. In Chrome's task manager, right-click the task table--check
       | the "Goats Teleported" item in the context menu.
