Google's mystery UFO doodle finally explained

I know there are some people who have not slept for fear that Google had finally committed itself to some alien culture.

Well, some outerworldly alien culture. Well, some outerworldly alien culture where all beings were green and no one used phrases like "market segmentation" and "41 shades of blue."

You see, a mysterious doodle appeared on the Google home page. It showed an alien spacecraft making off with the second "O" in the word "Google."

Were we really expected to merely gogle now? Didn't that sound uncomfortably close to ogling?

Though there were no references to the Church of Scientology, Google's first pronouncement on the subject did not quell the concern.

The questionably benign company declared: "We consider the second 'o' critical to user recognition of our brand and pronunciation of our name. We are actively looking into the mysterious tweet that has appeared on the Google twitter stream and the disappearance of the 'o' on the Google home page. We hope to have an update in the coming weeks."....

Maybe it’s a call out to Jim Traficant for zerO to “beam[him] up?”

Someone cleverer than I can probably remove the O in Pbama...

Oh. I thought it was a phallic symbol.

I assumed it was a reference to Spore.

BTW, ironically Chrome crashed when I attempted to open a new tab to see if the flying saucer was still on Gooogle's page.
Pfft, and these guys think they can replace Windows.
