I dunno, I guess it’s a mistake.

The current iteration of the Google main page has one of their cute little stylized logos. This one’s a winter motif with some happy polar bears holding hands. It’s an active link, though, so when you click on it, you’d esxpect the it to run a Google query on some festive string such as “Winter Holiday” or “Polar Bear Love” or something. instead, though, it brings you to a strange page bearing (haha) the same logo treatment and some nonsense. The page address is public (google.com/doodle9.html) and the link doesn’t rotate. Change the numeric suffix in the address (doodle8, doodle5) and you’ll see a whole collection of Google logo treatments for holidays, seasons and special occassions.

Ok, it’s not earth-shattering, but I’ve always loved the little logo cartoons they do and this is a nice way to stumble into a handful of them.
