Mazel Tov Google, today you become a man.

The internet search giant is celebrating its 13th birthday today and has marked the occasion with a party-themed version of its iconic logo.

The company was founded by two Stanford University students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, both of whom came from Jewish families.

They met in 1995 and began collaborating on computer research, officially launching their site on September 27 1998. The name came from a mistake in the spelling of the mathematical term for a large number.
