    Ok, by now you all "get" the fact that I like logo's for some odd genetic defect of a reason. And as it here Fathers day I took my morning peek at "the big 3" and my favorite meta site, http://www.dogpile.com and I only see http://www.ask.com and Dogpile doing anything "fun" with their logo/homepage for fathers day.

    I think this makes it official.

    GOOGLE HATES DADS!

    Ok, ok..i know, i'm taking it too far but really, has google become so "corporate" that they cant even let the "goo" down in Google town to have a little fun once and a while with their logos? They used too but I have not seen one in a while.

    Dear Son,
    Google lives in a larger world than you are. Father's day is at different dates in countries outside USA.

    Yah a while ago someone wrote an article about small search engines and they seemd to be right because if you submit to them well who knows if 1,000,000 people use them in a year and you submitted to 40,000 of them it get's better...
