Is it the anniversary of the movie Metropolis or something? (wasn:t that....29 or so?).
Google has a cool art decoy sci-fi image today.

You can click that image, you know?
It just brings up Korean gibberish though. :(

Then go to google.com or google.co.uk instead of google.kr. Jeezumcrackers!
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I always use google.com

Surprisingly google.co.uk worked though, didn't expect Jorge Luis Borges as the reference though. :unsure:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

google.com often defaults to your local google, based on IP, I think.

I had a second cousin do something like that.  Shot himself then threw his own body out of a car by the side of the road.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Guns N' Roses raised flags in the CCP with their rendition of Government of the People's Republic of China and Falun Gong causing a country-wide ban of their new album Chinese Democracy.

Mentioning the ban in a 2008 cable a Chinese official said "many people do not like this music as it is too loud."
