Doodle: Mother’s Day
Doodle May 11th, 2008 - By Haochi
Today’s Mother’s Day (in the U.S., and many other countries) and well, you know what to do (and it’s never too late). Orkut also have a special logo to celebrate the holiday.
In the U.K., Google’s celebrating the birthday (May 12) of Florence Nightingale, who is known as “The Lady with the Lamp”.
Florence Nightingale, who came to be known as “The Lady with the Lamp”, was a pioneer of modern nursing, a writer and a noted statistician. [Wikipedia]

I love these Google Homepage Banners, they’re quite inventive and sometimes publicise very odd and obscure things.
Mind you, Florence isn’t obscure, we have on the back of our bank notes.
I recently wrote a post on my blog about Google’s Halloween Homepage Banners »
