The Google Doodle Thread

Hm nice. Also for some reasons Earth Day banners did not always show up in Canada, even if I put .com at the end of the URL instead of .ca.

I wonder why?

Also:
Happy Teacher's Day!

Woah, that one looks very cool

The pencils in today's Google Doodle may lead some bizarre Benjamin Button backwards-aging type existence if the longer, newer pencil is leading shorter ones.

Or it is just to commemorate Teacher's Day.

What do you mean calcplays? I don't know who Benjamin Button is, other than that there's a movie called the Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

A brand new wooden pencil is at the maximum length it will ever be. Through general usage, it gradually whittles down to a point. Size decreases with time, inevitably. As SpongeBob SquarePants (a cartoon character) once remarked, "As my ideas grow, you shrink." In today's Doodle, however, the "teacher" pencil is longer than the "student" pencils. Growthwise, the short pencils have nowhere to go. Why would they learn? How could the clearly less utilized pencil be the leader of the group?

It will go away tomorrow, though, and something else will take the Doodle's place .

Oh right, true.

Then maybe the Google Doodle doesn't make much sense if the leading pencil is the teacher, since it should have been shorter.

I see that now. Maybe Google has invented to growing pencil.

Dream of Omnimaga · May 08, 2016, 07:23:02 PM

At least if we had growing pencils maybe this would reduce the amount of pencil beggars at school.

Dudeman313 · May 11, 2016, 06:37:21 PM

Yeah.

My teachers are always complaining about lending pencils and never getting them back.

alexgt · May 11, 2016, 06:44:33 PM

But people would still loose pencils

Dream of Omnimaga · May 11, 2016, 07:53:36 PM

Yeah true. Over here I think the issue is that some students have poor families and parents expect other students to just lend them new pencils and paper sheets >.<. Or some students might just do it because they're too lazy to refill their pencil/paper supply. >.<

Dudeman313 · May 20, 2016, 01:48:04 AM

Yeah.

Interesting, I didn't know that Japan or Japanese people got involved into the african-american vs white relation improvement campaings back then.

Dudeman313 · May 20, 2016, 12:59:43 PM

Me neither. It's a very intriguing topic.
