Google fun?!

[griffin]

Recently I've become aware of different Google banners when I open my internet. They may have always had them, I'm a bit slow on the up take sometimes!
I became a little more curious recently when one had a 'play' button, so I played it and the scene just had some animation. I then found if I right clicked I could go to a link that told me what it was all about. So recently there has been the 155th anniversary of Pony Express on which the play button gave you a little game to play, the mail man on a galloping horse had to pick up mail bags and avoid obstacles. Being a wiz at such games I got a personal best of 1 out of 100
Here's a link to a better try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNldRSzjIOg

. Who?? I'll let you Google it to find out

I'm beginning to get hooked on their little oddities but I reckon the best job at Google is finding this stuff, wonder if they Google it These little gems are only up for a day so check them out, unless you still have a life. Who knows, it could mean it gives you the knowledge to one day win 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire"

It was pretty much a matter of course that something would appear for today.
