"Google is built by a large team of engineers, designers, researchers, robots, and others in many different sites across the globe. It is updated continuously, and built with more tools and technologies than we can shake a stick at. If you'd like to help us out, see google.com/jobs."
Google's Tim Bray linked to this text file and the Google Jobs Twitter account made it more popular.
YouTube's robots.txt file has recently added a humorous comment: "Created in the distant future (the year 2000) after the robotic uprising of the mid 90's which wiped out all humans."

Maybe fun to mention that the robots.txt quote comes from a Flight of the Conchords song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvrva8NoMLM&fmt=34
