Not so pretty Google

So, the 125th birthday of Walter Gropius, eh?  I don't think the buildings he'd designed would have been quite so unattractive!

Bring back the lasers, I say!

Sweet - 54 people have looked at your post and no one has replied, so they need a link for them to realise what you're talking about.  Here:

So it does look like Google are regularly changing their logo.  How did you know about the 125th anniversary - they seem to be obscure anniversaries.

Cathy, I did what I was advised to do by a poster on my other thread about this.  If you hover your mouse over the logo, it tells you what it is.  Then, if you wish to know more, you click on it and you get all the web pages connected to the subject.  Real cool.

What most interested me was not the Gropius architectural designs but the fact that he was married to Mahler's widow.  Just imagine, having that close a link to Mahler; I mean sharing her bed and affections..........wow.  I can't judge whether Gropius was a genius but Mahler certainly was!

Sweet, I am trying to imagine Walter and Mahler's widow, as you put it, "sharing affections,"  For the life of me I can't picture Walter saying "Just hum the Nachtmusik 2nd movement of the seventh symphony again, that's my favourite."[:)]

An angel wanders up to Gropius (who is designing a new style harp) and says the good news is that Google has remembered you...

"And?" asks the great designer.

"The bad news is that their graphics are insultingly feeble".
