There's an ad for Geico insurance at the bottom, lol. What's the deal with that?

Right, still a little odd to have...

> FOR A FREE CAR INSURANCE RATE QUOTE THAT COULD SAVE YOU SUBSTANTIAL MONEY WWW.GEICO.COM OR CALL 1-888-395-6349, 24 HOURS A DAY

...on the homepage of a quarter-trillion dollar company, with no other ads.

The website is really old in the early days of the web this was normal as you didn’t have the ability to check for these things via google.
Berkshire Hathaway owns Geico.
