The full-width illustration greeting web users logging on to the search engine portrays an episode in the novel in which the protagonist is made to whitewash a fence.

Did you know that Mark Twain was his pen name? He was born
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 176 years ago.



Remember this thread??
I wonder if changing those words has made any difference in the end.....



Yes, I remember the thread, and I repeat what I said then:
It is the nonsense we have in this country called
"Political Correctness" perpetuated by the media.

There is a show on AMC now called "Hell on Wheels" which
makes Twain mild by contrast, and there is no political
correctness in its vocab. Just the way it was with the
building of the Transcontinental railroad.
