Yep, it's in the US as well. Happened a week or so ago too. If they cycled through images of great art, architecture, or whatnot, that would be okay. You would see new material that you might not come across on your own.

I cant remember when I went to the google homepage last. Browser searchbar FTW
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Code: Select all

// Replaces with spaces the braces in cases where braces in places cause stasis 
   $str = str_replace(array("\{","\}")," ",$str);

I always miss the Google novelties since I usually go directly to Google Scholar.

This is the internet equivalent of admitting to seriously having no life... :doh:
