GOOGLE DOODLE DO.. OR DON'T?

 
Now the warm weather is back with us. Well, warmer weather at least.  The question must be asked.  Are Google running out of ideas?

I don't mean the entire google organisation.  I'm sure they are brimming over with new ideas for us all - Google this and Google that.  I am referring to the people at Google Doodle.  These are the group (or maybe just one person) who Google pay (I'm sure handsomely) to sit and dream up new variations on their logo for the main search pages of the world.

But I have noticed this week that they have been playing around with the Google logo to celbrate Jules Verne's 183rd birthday and today it's the turn of Thomas Edison, who if he had managed to invent a time freeze machine would today have been 164.  Although he wouldn't would he because time would have frozen and I assume he would be as old as he was when he invented the machine? Anyway.. here they are..

Now I love Google Doodle's and think they serve a useful purpose of edutainment, but the point is these are not really valid celebratory events are they?

True I would celebrate if I made it to my 164th birthday.  But my guess is nobody else would care too much?

So, come on Google less is more.  Surprise us, entertain us, amuse us even.  But please don't start changing your logo just because you've found some obscure relevance to the day..
