On Google's front page what is that man supposed to be? And what is he doing? And how does it relate to today's date? For Halloween it got decorated but at least it made sense because it was with ghosts and witches and stuff but this bloke is just a tornado or something but he looks pleased with himself. Surely this isn't taking the mick out of the hurricanes in America at the moment?

[jakesi]

it looks like he is a olympian.

[jenky]

I think it might be Poseidon, and possibly something to do with the Olympics?

[Doolallygirl]

Ah right. So the tornado bit? And what is he actually doing though?

[jenky]

got me there - though it looks as though he may have just stabbed Noddy in the head.

I don't think it is a tornado, i think it's just the way he's moving in the water? Maybe! He's hooking a gold medal with his fork thingy!

If you checked Google previously, they had an overall Olympic scene, and it looks like they are going to feature a different discipline as the Games progress. I don't think Google got where they are today by taking insensitive swipes at victims of natrual disasters.

I should hope not too Mr Hughes! To be 100% honest, straight after I posted this question I went onto google and stared at it for a while and worked it out, I just get lonely and bored at work and wanted someone to chat with!!

jenky - the thing on the end of the trident is a medal with ribbon! But I can see where you're coming from.

They do put some daft pictures on though. I remember when it was hallo'ween the pic stayed on for about 4 days - I think everyone went on there hols.

If u click the picture it does a search for what it is.
