I was just browsing around and then by accident I encountered something rather strange.

 

This is what I did...

 

1. Went on google.co.uk

2. Typed in "google" without searching or pressing enter

3. Clicked on "Play" at the top of the page.

 

Instead of opening google play, it linked to a file called response.txt

 

Any idea what this is or why it occurred?

Not that it's an issue or anything, just curious to know what it is as I have never seen it before.

unfortunatly nothing legible or meaningful, it would have been a cool little Easter egg if it was.
