I think someone Googled "fun".

This is REALLY SILLY. I love it. Glad to have been a part.
Aha, so that was a sea turtle's skin. Thought it was either snake or tiger skin.
I love the title! A good tip to know about Seurat and ice cream. Makes sense, I suppose. After all, one careless drip and it would ruin his painting. Jackson Pollock, on the other hand, is reported to have loved ice cream.
I wonder if Seurat ever painted a picture with a googol dots in it.
No, I didn't spell that wrong. If you don't believe me, google googol.

Nobody, not even Seurat, has ever done anything with a googol of anything in it.

I guess you're right. I just did a quick Google-fueled estimate and even the great pyramid of Giza doesn't have a googol atoms in it (about 3 x 10^36). Of course Seurat was quite the dotter. Maybe there's an undiscovered painting a couple light-years wide that he's stashed behind the Centari cluster. You never know. If there is, I bet it's a painting of a puppy-dog's nose.

So Google = Silly. I like it. Let me send this one off to Sergey Brin!
Anyone recognize where the logos i used were first implemented?
(I should have put a hand-print. I was thinking about using the burning man logo....)

Sorry about the strange transition- A wierd image, but the dots made me think of giant legos- rising out of the sea? the clouds?
By the way- Lego means "play well" in Dutch

Barowles,
Hope you don't mind my asking, and if you don't want to tell me, it's ok. I was wondering how you created those clouds?
