    I think it was a reference to David and Goliath.

      It does, though :) googling "people who, in the face of giants, pick up the stone" returns a bunch of results on David and Goliath.

        Oh, I thought it was a search for a new product, the Google Stone. Now that is a product I would buy.

    It is a reference to the stone used to slay Goliath.
