Well, shucks. My Google Doodle is wishing ME a happy birthday.

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.

Doug

Happy Birthday you poor deluded Leafs fan :wink:

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! :slight_smile:

I didn’t get a custom Google doodle… :frowning:

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. :frowning:

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! :slight_smile:

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. :slight_smile:

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. :slight_smile:
