Google Crawling IRC?

Lately, we've had this bot on a private IRC network scanning the links:

[OV] MOTD requested by eddie52 (Eddie@xxx-xxx-xx-x.google.com) [irc.xxxxxxxxx.com] [OV] LINKS '' requested by eddie52 (Eddie@xxx-xxx-xx-x.google.com) [irc.xxxxxxxxx.com] [WI] eddie07!~Eddie@xxx-xxx-xx-x.google.com (walso)

IPs and hostnames changed to protect the innocent and shy. The IP the bot comes from is inside an IP block belonging to Google. Interesting.
