Google's Unexplained Crop Circles

Sorry in advanced. This is a break for Grace's typical family blog posts.

It's around 2am. I'm not usually up this late, but I couldn't sleep, so I figured I'd just get up to do some research on an idea I just came up with for a small programming project. That's what I do, I'm a software developer. Anyway, I fire up my browser and notice that the Google logo of the day is a UFO hovering over some crop circles. Normally, I don't have a lot of time on my hands and don't end up clicking through on the various Google logos, but in this case, I noticed that it didn't have the typical hover-over text that explains what the logo is about. This piqued my interest, and I clicked through. I briefly read some of the related news articles which explained that this was a new logo that apparently is making its way around the world right now, starting at around midnight in each country. Apparently, there was another similar logo deemed the "unexplained phenomenon" that appeared a few weeks back (Sept 4th/5th). This guy does a better job explaining it than me. The two logos are obviously related somehow, but no one (outside of Google) really knows the meaning of the two logos as of yet. Some have speculated that the "unexplained phenomenon" is characteristically unexplained by Google, a self-fulfilling phenomenon, but then that wouldn't explain today's UFO + crop circles logo. Some think it's just a hallmark Google marketing ploy. Others speculate that "Google knows something that we don't" or that "our government is about to reveal something". Umm, doubt it. I'm guessing there'll be a much more innocuous explanation... but it better be explained, or else it'll drive me batty!
