Nicolas Steno
Known as the father of stratigraphy and geology, Nicholas Steno worked to understand history by what he could find in the ground. Rather than simply write books about his findings, Steno opted to do his own hands-on research. As an innovative thinker, he disagreed with his contemporaries in thinking that shark-tooth-shaped objects found imbedded in rocks "fell from the sky." Instead, Steno argued that these formations were fossils. His dedication to analysis, critical thinking, and creative thinking make him a great subject for a Google doodle!

Saw on either MSN or Yahoo that today is the 50th birthday of Doctor Who. On Yahoo, they have the Tardis spinning through the word Yahoo, and then turning into the exclamation point.

The part that impressed me was seeing that the BBC got involved.
Then I got thinking how the initial phone call must have gone.
"Thank you for calling the British Broadcasting Corporation, this is BRWombat. how may I direct your call?"
"Hello, this is Big Wallaby from Google. We were thinking about doing a doodle on our site for the 50th Anniversary and we were wondering if you would be interested in helping make it happen."
"...
"...
"...
"Uh, please hold."
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
