Google is keeping locals happy ! Queen's day today. Happy birthday Beatrix!(See Google Nederland) What are you seeing that I don't see? Google English is just like the usual colors.(blue,red,yellow,blue,green, red letters) Your's two links, Jackie, twosleepy, what do you see? And what has Jeff Koons got to do with it?

When I switch from Google homepage Dutch to Google English, or Google French or Italian whatever, the features change. When you set 'preferences' to Dutch or Nederlands do the features of your page not change?
(it is a nation wide celebration day, everyone in the streets, I guess like 4th of July , but of course different)

Hmm... Elmer Fudd?? Still , it's weird. You got three and a half more hours to trace it. Hoh!!! Another shocking discovery: white text is reveiled on the active topics page!! I did : "no special favors to foreigners" in hidden white and it's open to read for everyone on 'active topics'. Well, it wasn't quote-proof anyway.

I was able to type in the Dutch URL for Google ( link) and see it ... There is a place in your account settings which allows you to set your locale and your language. Russian in Mexico, Icelandic in UAE, etc.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Yes, sorry, silly joke. I click 'preferences 'get the page where I change location and language for other countries. No Url needed. I guess they do things like this for all countries. So when is the birthday of the King of Estonia? (The queen of Esperanto???  ????)

Koons' Google banner. Ballons allright.
Thanks. That was on your Google homepage today? Not on the English homepage here. Preferences for homepage features I guess,
Elmer Fudd? That's for tomorrow.Day's up.

Oh, why not: [blowing kiss e] to you, Branny, 'cause I think you're a cool lady!

Thanks ! And blow returned. Right now I'd like to be a bit less cool. Temperatures dropped to winter values again
+ rain and the free day (got it: ascension day) is spent indoors. All shops closed, no supplies for work brings the best excuse for hanging out here. (I found Elmer Fudd too.)
