Google’s homepage logo today is made up of a bunch of balls:
When you scroll over the balls, they bounce around and stuff:
Cool, harmless, fun time-waster, right?
Or maybe, like anytime Google does anything, the internet has gone apesh*t and declared this the MYSTERY OF THE CENTURY:
Might’ve Photoshopped in that purple one myself, but who’s counting?
That’s just a handful of the 200+ stories online today trying to make sense out of Google’s harmlessly entertaining homepage, thus officially making it the Mystery of the Century. Unfortunately, there will not be many great mysteries in the next 90 years, as this one is already the one of the century, according to me.
Can anyone solve it? The New York Daily News offers this hard-hitting exposé:
“Today’s doodle is fast, fun and interactive, just the way we think search should be,” a spokesperson told the Daily News.
So is there a Google logo hidden message?
“We’ll leave it at that,” the spokesperson said.
According to London’s The Guardian, the bounty of bouncing balls is about CSS3, a new version of the popular web code used to design websites. CBS suggests it could relate to a birthday.
WE’LL LEAVE IT AT THAT??? How am I supposed to waste a couple minutes bouncing balls around my screen without knowing the precise reason for why I am able to do this??
Looks like we finally have a “Who Shot J.R.?” for our generation. We’ll just never know the answer. Wait, they answered “Who Shot J.R.?” 30 years ago? Oh. Then maybe this will be answered 30 years ago. I made an analogy and I’m sticking to it.
