Well, that was unexpected. I just went to https://www.google.ca and there’s cakes and candles and the mouse-over says “Happy Birthday Doug!”
Gee. I am not worthy, but thanks Google-bots.

Happy Birthday you poor deluded Leafs fan
Well, have a happy birthday, and a very merry Civic Holiday weekend!
(or is that a merry birthday, and a happy Civic Holiday weekend?)
You gotta admit, those google people are clever.
And happy birthday mate!
I didn’t get a custom Google doodle…
Happy Birthday, Leaffan!
I got it on my birthday, too. How does it know?
Google has collected a ton of information on all of us these days.
Do you use something like Gmail or Google+? I imagine somewhere along the way you put your birthday in a profile.
As a matter of policy, I always give the wrong birthdate to these sorts of things.
Happy Birthday Doug!
I am not a bot.
Google knows more about you than the NSA. After all the NSA goes and asks Google for the info!
Merry Dougmas?
That’s creepy.
It’s Google. They know *everything *about you.
Look on the bright side, Doug - on your fiftieth, maybe the Google doodle will graphically remind you that it’s time for a colonoscopy. Not sure I want to know what that would look like.
As a side note, I switched a ways back to the Duck (after seeing DuckDuckGo mentioned on the SDMB, of course!) and ever since I’ve had this nagging feeling that - somehow - Google can still tap into another search engine’s history. The Duck says they don’t track or send, but damn, Google sure seems to have some long-ass tentacles.
It feels like they’re still wrapping around some part of me, somehow…
Oh, BTW - Happy belated birthday, Doug! Same as my daughter’s.
I just hope it isn’t one of the interactive doodles.
Alas, 50th was last year and I still haven’t been 'scoped.
I should probably do something about that…
Happy Birthday. Better to get scoped than find something too late (I think they use body scanners or swallow-cams these days)
Belated happy birthday, Leaffan.
BTW, lavenderviolet, I never give my real age either. I’M 98 on Facebook.
Huh. Today is my birthday and it did it for me, too.
Neat…and I didn’t realize I had inputted that into their system before. Huh.
All the good bots would say that, you know.
