title: Google doesn't follow W3C standards... whaaa?
body: <p>A friend of mine just pointed out an interesting phenomenon... I went to the <a href="http://www.google.com/" rel="nofollow">Google home page</a> and looked at the source code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!doctype html&gt;&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"&gt;&lt;title&gt;Google&lt;/title&gt;
  ...
  ...
  ...
  A LOT OF STUFF HERE
  ...
  ...
  ...
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... so I noticed that source code doesn't have the closing <code>&lt;/body&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/html&gt;</code> tags. Using Chrome's Inspector, it shows the closing tags but when I right click and look at the source, its not there.</p>
  
  <p>What is going on here? Am I missing something? I tried using the <a href="http://validator.w3.org/" rel="nofollow">W3C HTML Validator</a> and it showed a bunch of errors...</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&amp;uri=http://www.google.com/" rel="nofollow">http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&amp;uri=http://www.google.com/</a></p>
  
  <p>So... what's the deal?</p>
