    Tangerine Dream's Edgar Froese and Jamaican jazzman Monty Alexander are both 70 today. Two seriously classy musicians.

    I like those google date thingies because sometimes you learn new information from them. I've seen that "Go" game played a bit on tv and in the movies and always wondered about it so yesterday I ended up reading a bit about it.

    So the lesser-known landmark dates are a good thing IMO.

    Father Dougal: Would that be the day the Ice Age ended?

    Mrs Doyle: It doesn't matter what day it is, Father. There is always time for a nice cup of tea! Sure didn't our Lord Himself on the cross pause for a nice cup of tea before giving Himself up for the world?

    You don't know Shusaku the Invincible? You philistine!

    (Not to be confused with Shusaku the Lech - a pornographic Japanese anime)

    It's the average annual date in which the Irish media, rather bizarrely, go into full Leaving Cert mode!

    Leaving Cert/World Cup were the first things I thought of, as they generally begin around that time.

    Go set up your own internet behemoth and commemorate the day as you see fit.

    'Go' is a great game and I am delighted Google have shone the lime-light on it.

    What was so great about the D-Day Landings anyway? The Soviets had already done the hard work in defeating the Nazi machine.

    Google doodles are supposed to be light-hearted, get over it. Find me a war-related one, I'll wait.

    Can't remember the exact some but I did make a small fortune. We went to the pub that night and I still had my dress on so I was going around the pub with my little communion bag and people were giving me money. :o

    If they had a Kristallnacht doodle on 9th November next there would be uproar.

    They're just trying to be impartial I presume.
