Interesting bit of trivia. The Google doodle.

But the doodle tradition started here before I did. The first doodle was produced by (who else?) Larry and Sergey, who, when they attended the Burning Man festival in summer 1999, put a little stick figure on the home page logo in case the site crashed and someone wanted to know why nobody was answering the phone

did Google ever do another BM doodle after 99? Wold be pretty cool for everyone to see the Mandoodle during Burning Man this year, but probably would add another 10,000 attendees.

They have had one other that I have seen.

And they have been posting the mandoodle each year ever since the first one.

Well then, perhaps we can have this post deleted then as being extraneous.

Sorry to have bothered.

your post was NOT extraneous. I never knew about the older post and this was interesting news to me. Thanks Cap'n

But CapSmashy's post is so much more recent. New is way better.

I agree and it was nice to see the old post back up also.

Haven't seen it in a few years.

No need to delete anything.

It's a great post.
