An odd google.com observation...
I've noticed how google.com always decorates or alters their logo a bit on certain holidays or special occasions (Thanksgiving, St. Patty's Day, during the Olympics, etc.). I've seen it a thousand times, and I'm sure all you have as well.
Just noticed, during my fourth or so visit there today that there isn't something Memorial Day-oriented there.
Do you think that's just an attempt to not appear U.S.-centric to any foreign searchers? Seems about par for the course these days, considering.
Just curious, because I've seen them alter their logo/masthead for some pretty silly-ass events/occasions over the years.
Compared to some, today seems pretty legit. But I guess that might have a jingoistic tinge to it, huh?
"We'll have none of that flag-waving nonsense HERE, my good man!"
Actually, that's not that funny...
Sigh.

But, they do have an MLK one. That's hardly "barrelful of yuks" subject matter. Pretty somber and serious, I'd say.
No big deal. I just noticed it because I always like to see what they do on holidays and other special events. I like the little themed alterations and look forward to them. Just stuck out that today there were none.
If torifile doesn't get the day off, then we don't decorate.
Stoopid Dook Med Center. I had to work today...

Yea. Right. Especially st Patrick's day is sooooo US-centric.
I think you misunderstood. I never said St. Patty's was or wasn't "U.S.-centric". I just said they acknowledge it.
indeed...

That may be true, CoD. I read that interview with the guy who comes up with the alterations for them.

I know a lot of people that laugh at that day.
(Just KIDDING!)
Basically, Google is comprised of a bunch of [spineless pansies]. Feel better Paul?
