Not interactive, but today Google is showing loads of Mr. Men & Little Miss pictures, to celebrate the 76th Birthday of Roger Hargreaves (deceased).....

Yeah, and there was the Spejbl and Hurvinek one few days ago, too. That kind of surprised me really, I wonder if it was shown just to Czech IP ranges or if it was international, too.

What's the proper URL to it? It's not coming up here on google.com and the official google logo page doesn't have it yet (last one is 28th Aug).

It's showing on Google.com here!?

If it isn't working for you, here's the youtube version....

And for Freddy fans, here's the official 65th birthday tribute video too...

*EDIT! * Silly me...it's www.google.co.uk

Yeah ... hehehe ... I just noticed that in the top post when I re-loaded the thread, thanks :-)

Guess it's only available on the .co.uk extension, oh well. But I mean it works if you go there instead of the "universal" google.com page.

That was brilliant, took me about 5 minutes to work my way through it.

Never heard of the author though...

I only know who he is because of Solaris....and I haven't read that, just saw the movie version with George Clooney (which is apparently nothing like the book!)...

if she was the chick who looked a bit like that bird that knocked around with him off of Duran Duran then hot daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!

Also.....is Google in the dictionary as a verb yet?

It's in common usage as one after all

"what's the name of that bird off Solaris?"

"dunno man, google it"

etc etc

I strongly advice you to see the original Soviet 1972 adaptation - it's one of the finest movies I've ever seen in my life, if not the finest altogether.
