[SLUG] what is favicon.ico

[Ben Donohue]

hi all,
in my web server logs i get the following...

"get /blahblah/favicon.ico http/1.0" 404 172

obviously i don't have a favicon.ico hence the 404 file not found.
but why is the search engine or whatever looking for a favicon.ico? 
beats me. i know i could make one but...
