Anatomically correct

You'd think I'd point to the Cluetrain boys' latest on the world of ends. But heck, you'll be seeing that one all over the place. So instead, I'd rather chat about how I've always enjoyed the way Google plays with . Yesterday's version of Google a la Michelangelo's David struck me as a bit odd, as I think this was the first time that they deviated so far from the traditional primary color scheme.

But I wasn't the only one who thought the logo odd! Over on kottke.org, Jason asked "where's David's doodle?" and provided an anatomically correct version:

David with rather than without

Jason added:

Surely a small, pixelated phallus isn't going to offend anyone or corrupt the young. ... The change is small (sorry Mrs. David), but the man's wang deserves to be shown in all its glory.

Gosh...I hope I didn't get anyone fired at work. Flush those image caches :)
