This isn't a joke. It almost sounds like one...but this isn't a joke at all. This is Google. Humor isn't a part of it.
Now this is ambitious. Then again, Google and Facebook have made interesting partnerships with the Super-Spooks of the intelligence worlds, so sky is the limit I suppose.

I guess by Alphabet, you could look at that another way and say they are now the Alpha to Omega of whatever they choose to get into?
So much for that company motto of theirs.
Google is restructuring itself under a new umbrella company called Alphabet, with CEO Larry Page and co-founder Sergey Brin as leaders overseeing a group of companies.
The largest of those companies will be a "slimmed-down" version of the old Google. Sundar Pichai, a beloved and trusted lieutenant to Page, will serve as Google's new CEO.

In addition to Google, Alphabet will oversee Google X, the company's experimental research lab; Calico, the company's effort to increase the human lifespan; and Life Sciences, which works on projects like smart contacts for diabetes patients. YouTube, Google's massive video service, and Android, the company's mobile operating system business, will remain part of Google.
