Google is keeping locals happy ! Queen's day today. Happy birthday Beatrix!(See Google Nederland) What are you seeing that I don't see? Google English is just like the usual colors.(blue,red,yellow,blue,green, red letters)
Your's two links, Jackie, twosleepy, what do you see?
And what has Jeff Koons got to do with it?

When I switch from Google homepage Dutch to Google English, or Google French or Italian whatever, the features change. When you set 'preferences' to Dutch or Nederlands do the features of your page not change?

(it is a nation wide celebration day, everyone in the streets, I guess like 4th of July , but of course different)

Hmm... Elmer Fudd??
Still , it's weird. You got three and a half more hours to trace it.

Hoh!!! Another shocking discovery: white text is reveiled on the
active topics page!! I did : "no special favors to foreigners"
in hidden white and it's open to read for everyone on 'active topics'.
Well, it wasn't quote-proof anyway. \:o

I was able to type in the Dutch URL for Google (link) and see it ... There is a place in your account settings which allows you to set your locale and your language. Russian in Mexico, Icelandic in UAE, etc.

Yes, sorry, silly joke. I click 'preferences 'get the page where I change location and language for other countries. No Url needed.
I guess they do things like this for all countries.
So when is the birthday of the King of Estonia?
(The queen of Esperanto??? \:\) ????)

What happens when great art mixes with your homepage? iGoogle Artist Themes I saw that, but there was nothing there to tell me how it related to the balloons (thanks, 2s). So, is this Koons' birthday, or what?
