Is that a trident in your pocket?

or are you just happy to see me?

Google's logo today is a bit... hmmm... suggestive.

Aw, come-on. That's just the way the whirlwind wrapped around his waist!

What kind of sicko sees a suggestive scene there? :-)

They _updated_ the image. He looks much less "aggressive":

It's one of those images that might look less suggestive if he was fully naked. If he was naked and you could see that his right leg was up, then it wouldn't be so suggestive. And the leg would cover up everything that needed covering.

Off topic, but are you aware you are missing a word in the title on the main weblog page? It reads, "...plus every single damn thing on the web that catches my, plus a few more oddities."

Surely you mean that to read "catches my eye"?

I found this a few weeks after the fact but... hmm. Yeah. Wow. Damn. (Of course, I think it's brilliant, even if it was unintentional. :P )

See, this is what I get for using my browser's corner search box tool thingamy. I miss stuff like this.
