Ok, I admit it. I'm culturally clueless . . .

. . . so what's the significance of today that Google has little spaceships and UFOs on its logo?

If you click the logo it usually explains:

SpaceShipOne apparently won the X Prize (http://www.google.com/search?q=x+prize)

ah ha! Thanks for the tidbit.

SpaceshipOne was attacked by a small UFO during it's attempt to qualify for it's 2nd X-Prize flight

Maybe because SpaceShipOne just achieved its second flight in a week and thus wins the X Prize?

I'm guessing because my Google doesn't have spaceships.

I never would have guessed....and I guess noticed ..... I "googled" today several times (yes, it's a verb now) and didn't even notice!

p.s. luis_mw, it's the former mmirabilis, I've added you to my friends so you should be able to access my page (it's friends only--yummy!)

Should we call you the livejournaler formerally known as mmirabilis? ^_~

Ack, that should be 'formerly'. What's up with my spelling today?

[salingerscat.livejournal.com]

no because then I'd have to re-invent myself every now and then and have a sign as my name...I just don't know if I'm up to it, really, really, I don't ... ;p ... heh. you've been added too!!!
