Google Chooses Diego over D-Day
Google honored Diego Velasquez with its first Fine Arts logo instead of the standard Google Doodle. We don't know exactly what this means in the grand scheme of things. Do you?
If you figure it out, let us know.
We do know the Baroque artist was born and baptized this day in 1599, so it's not a 500 year anniversary or anything.
Most people would have loved to see a D-Day Google logo, excerpt perhaps some Germans.

A curious choice, considering not only D-Day, but the 40 year anniversary of Robert Kennedy's death as well.

curious because instead of choosing themes of war and death they chose to celebrate finer aspects of human existence?
