Babalu! Google celebrates Lucille Ball's 100th birthday doodle-style
Well, would you look at that? Two of our favorite entertainers, Lucile Ball and the World Wide Web, share a birthday. Of course, the former Mrs. Desi Arnaz would have about 80 years on the old web if she were alive today, but there's no reason the two can't get along, right? That's Google's stance anyway, as the internet giant's dedicated its latest doodle to the memory of the fiery ginger comedienne. If you love Lucy as much as we do, hit the source link, grab some popcorn and cozy up to that tiny TV to watch some of her very finest comedic performances. [Thanks, Bedan]
Google video doodle celebrates Charlie Chaplin's 122nd birthday
We had to check but the Charlie Chaplin tribute isn't the first video doodle to grace the Google home page. That honor was bestowed upon John Lennon to celebrate his 70th birthday. His video, however, was just an animation whereas Google's latest doodle dials up the frame rate to recreate the lovable tramp's antics in a very Google way. The video doodle's only available from the Google Australia home page but we expect that to change just as soon as the Earth completes its rotation. See it after the break -- just remember: a $2 muffin from 100 years ago would cost about $47 today without AdSense support.
