Today’s doodle is an interactive Venn diagram. Choose Music and Space and you get a cute little Cdr. Chris Hadfield floating around with his guitar up in the ISS.

I think it’s really cute, and I’m happy you pointed it out.

It bugs me that the icons on the right aren’t consistent. Like, sometimes the flying saucer represents “space”, and sometimes it represents “mythical”.

If you choose “Musical” and “Tiny”, you get a music box ballerina. With a big curly mustache.

I already started a thread on this (not giving away what it was about), but nobody seems to have responded:

I like that they avoided the obvious choice on “Musical” + “Has Wings”.

Not to spoil your fun, but I’m pretty sure those are supposed to be eyelashes. (Though they do kind of _look_ like a rather spectacular mustache. :D)
