There's a Japanese portal site named Goo (not to be confused with A Boy Named Goo). I wonder if Goo will merge with the GLE Concern to challenge a certain search engine we all know and love?

I used to buy Groo regularly, before Sergio decided to retire. I also got turned onto Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo.
