Google amuses me [even if they have spanked my blogs and has yet to lift my penalty].

If you use their Search daily during this Beijing 2008 Olympics, you can see that there is a different Google logo art every day to celebrate the Olympics.

What amuses me is that they are using the twelve animal signs of the Chinese horoscope to as participants in the Olympic Games, instead of the five Fuwa mascots, Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying and Nini, which they should rightly do.

I mean, what has the Chinese horoscope anything to do with the Olympics? Sure it’s originated from China and the Olympics 2008 is held in China but the link ends there. I would like to see, with a total of seventeen days the Olympics is held and only twelve animals to play with, including the Fuwa mascots on opening day, what animal will Google use for the other four days?

I feel that using the Fuwa Beijing Olympic mascots in Google logo art during the duration of the Olympics would be more appropriate, but still, it makes me laugh and look forward to the twelve different animals playing Olympic sports.
