Merged Why does google have a crop circle graphic today (Sep 15 2009)

[Deetee]

Just a quickie - does anyone know why the Google logo today is composed of crop circles? (hovering my mouse pointer over it does nothing)

Google's home page today...

Just curious.

(Incidentally, google finds that if you click on the logo)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA PROOF that Google is part of the NWO global domination!!!!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Anyway, we now know that Professor Yaffle and Darat are Tory Toffs (though PY tries to hide it) and that I'm socialist.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Or the torygraph and independent were the only articles picked up by google when we searched?

[I've never been so insulted in all my days!]

They had one on The Paranormal not long ago. Google likes woos. They buy lots of stuff.

Google pushing woo for the 2nd time this month

The logo up today is "crop circles" and the logo on the 4th was "unexplained phenomena."

Has Google been taken over by pod people?

At what point does this stop being playful and fun and start being harmful? "Natural cures" or "homeopathy"?

Why does google have a crop circle graphic today (Sep 15 2009)?

Is it international crop circle day or something?

When I link on it, it's not very informative. Article about new crop circles last night. But there's new crop circle reports all the time, and they don't update their front page. Why today?

 

[FramerDave]

Just for fun?

 

[Safe-Keeper]

I wondered about this, too.

Another hypothesis from my friend, in sonnet form... http://suppertimesonnets.blogspot.com/2009/09/in-which-i-contribute-some-additional.html

And the U.F.O. people are explaining why "Google 'ufo' logo is reality, not mystery"
"The UFO in Google’s logo today merely reflects the fact that the human race is on a fast track to acknowledging the existence, and presence on Earth, of extraterrestrial intelligent beings. This will be the biggest paradigm shift in human history. It will require unrestricted freedom and flow of information globally. Toward that end, Google has achieved far more than the over-hyped and under-enforced U.S. “Freedom of Information Act”.

So... No matter what happens the conspiracy people will follow right behind

It looks to me like they're making fun of crop circles as a serious issue.

It's an early Christmas wish.
