    Hi guys!

    Loved the fuzz about the painting and the banner for google.

    I will just clarify some things, since I'm a norwegian, I feel I'm sittng on some expertice in the area;)

    The painting was stolen a while ago, but was recovered with some small scratches, and as mentioned before, one of the most forged painting in time.
    The Scream was also stolen about 10 years ago, in a break-in to the museum in Oslo(Capital of Norway), but was recovered after some time with no scratches. The Scream IS norwegian and made by Edvard Munch, who if I remember correct, was born in Bergen(also in Norway;)

    The title of the painting, "Skrik", means 2 thing translated to english:
    Skrik - "Scream"(verb)
    Skrik - "A scream"(noun)

    But the used translation is "The Scream", I don't know why, cause it's not a direct translation.

    Well, hope you enjoy this info!

    Thanks, Kristian

    Interesting that none mentioned the connection between Google's updates/downgrades and the paiting. Most of the times I look like the man(?) in the paiting when I see that Google has changes the SERP's again:eek:

    If I remember good, Scream is worth some 14 millions, so yes, he was good.

    And I knew he was Norwegian guy :D

    I pretty much never get to see any Google creativities on their homepage because I never visit the homepage. I use toolbar in FF and the search results pages.

    But I love the Scream painting. Besides from monotonous Google logo, I like the idea of them changing it according to festivities.

    I can see some non-Google artsy-fartsy types pooping their drawers over the defacing of a masterpiece. Personally I love it! I'd like to see a different logo each day and have a rotating Google image on my personalized homepage!
