Here’s something to while away 3o seconds with:
It’s a collection of the logos that Google have used to celebrate various days with links to the ones from previous years. Today’s one, marking the end of Western conflict in the First World War, isn’t on there yet but will no doubt appear soon.
I hope all you UK people purchased a poppy!
Sorry to pop your bubble, but 11:00 on 11/11 was the date in 1918 that the First World War ended. VE day (8th May 1945) and VJ day (15th August 1945) both come earlier in the year. (how’s that for nit-picking)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/war/ has some nice info on all three dates
Yes, I purchased a poppy, but I lost it 🙁 Put one up on my blog though, so everyone can see it.
Oops! I did know that… That’ll teach me to type while thinking about three different things! Thanks for pointing that out, I’ve editted the original post.
My poppy also vanished a day or two ago, but the important thing that I bought one rather than showing it off. I’ve only left the house for a few minutes today anyway!
