Just did. BIG SLAP, very subtle too. One of the hoverovers says, "Though today is April Fools Day, these statues live on an island named after yesterday's holiday."

You can almost HEAR the announcer continuing: "... you know. The ONE YOU IGNORED, GOOGLE...."

LOL. Thanks, dude.

Actually they could have done it in a fair-and-balanced way:
Have the capital-G stylized as a Roman soldier relating a story [depicted in the first o] of the small-g, l, and e taking a t from the cave/tomb.
Have the g, l, and e relating a story [depicted in the second o] of the t coming out of the cave/tomb wreathed in blinding light.

It's a fair portrayal of the Easter story and people could choose which story to believe.

How does an Android smartphone owner replace Google as their browser?

I wanna vote with my pocketbook!

I use Bing as my primary search engine, although it too is far from perfect—even though google admittedly is a more thorough search engine.

On another matter, thank God it’s April 2. Some of these jokes are hard to weed out!

Ah yes, just as redundancy is the soul of repetitiveness.

Gee, I thought Google was honoring Chavez for his principled opposition to illegal aliens, and the practice of importing low-skilled workers to drive down labor costs.

Maybe Google is going to celebrate Pascha/Easter according to the Russian Orthodox calendar. They did mark the 450th anniversary of St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow.

Said Samantha Smith, Google spokeschick, “We enjoy celebrating holidays at Google but, as you may imagine, it’s difficult for us to choose which events to highlight on our site, and Sometimes for a given date, we feature an historical event or influential figure that we haven’t in the past.”

Eh ???

Well done sir, well done!

This is the real April Fools Day.

Nice try Laz but no cigar!

[ShasheMac]

If they’d decided to honor Easter, I doubt they would have honored the Lord. It probably would have been a bunny and a basket of eggs.

I am switching to Startpage.

I checked it out. It says, "Enhanced by Google." I assume that means Startpage interfaces with Google for a more comprehensive search?

Ixquick states they are the world’s most private search engine.

Stupid and insulting....but typical.

There were cupcakes there on my birthday! :)

Startpage sneaks into Google, gets your answers for you, and returns them to you with no strings attached from Google. It’s a private search engine, and Google never knows it was you.
