Google has DNS problems
Someone at Google probably did some experimenting with their DNS around 15:30 PST.
# dig www.google.com
; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> www.google.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

In other words, trying to go to www.google.com failed.
Whoopsie. It was fixed a bit later:
