before we get the new valentine's day logo, remember last year's?  a big kerfuffle ensued about the "misspelling", with allusions to Barnabe Googe being made!

The strawberry itself is extraneous; the chocolate spill is the g.

Of Course, why would you need fruit if you already have chocolate?

How do you-all do that? Get just the image of the logo, I mean?
But: I can't see all the letters that are s'posed to be there. I guess the lady's right arm plus the balloon strings are a tilted l; I was thinking the man's back could be the o but I simply cannot see a g after it. The man's back plus down to the bottom of his right leg could be the g, maybe--but in that case where the heck is the o?

Weird image, seems like they are in hurry. Hurricane coming up?
Do they have to represent those characters always?

I think the idea is we all know what it says, anyway, so...

Such a weird thing. He's the O from Old man, she 's the G from
'Good Grace! Let me Go'. The L is from: Let go of those Lousy baLLoons!

 Fold your mind, Bransheba, the final "E" completes Google's cutsy little subliminal message, to wit... OLD GEEZERS LOVE GOOGLE! But, to wit, I wouldn't know myself.

No, the strawberry is part of the g No no, see, I said that because I want to eat the strawberry! And after that, the chocolate on the "ground" will make the g...though admittedly it looks more like a figure 8!

Well--my right-click menu only offers Copy, so I went to Properties and copied the address from there.
Edit: cool--it worked! Thanks! [hug]

however, most websites frown upon the copying of image locations for pasting in other pages, as it ups their bandwidth usage, sometimes considerably.
the etiquettal way to do it is to copy the image to your computer, then ftp it to either a webspace you own or a free image-hosting site.

well, I'm surprised that Fald didn't mention it; unless I'm mistaken, he's usually the one to bring that up.
or maybe it's tsu. but he's the one that linked it in the first place, so...
