Google Is Missing Its Page Navigation

I was browsing Google this morning and realized an usual occurrence – the page navigation at the bottom of the search results was missing. I refreshed the page and it came back. I did a few more queries and the same thing happened. What is going on over at Google?

It is the holiday weekend, so maybe all the guys are out on their boats or taking a well deserved day off – but I couldn’t hep but find this odd.

Here is a screen shot of this…

It makes it virtually impossible to go past the first page of results. If you can’t get to any more than 10 results, maybe the click-through of their sponsored listings will increase but who knows, right? I am just wondering if this is a fluke, or if anyone else had noticed this.
