Google is looking for people with interesting stories. They're big on diversity. A straight-laced bloke like me from a regular family hasn't a chance without that MIT/Stanford sheepskin. But if you were adopted into a trisexual human/Klingon line marriage... well, Google could use someone with your fresh perspective, even if you only went to clown school. Hell if you went to clown school you're a shoo-in.
