Random things you never needed to know

The word "Music" originates from the Latin because the Romans called it "the art of the muses."

"Eclectic" can actually be synonym of "discriminating." It comes from the same Greek root that we get our English word "elect." It means to choose.

Based on these two facts, I have come to the conclusion that I must have a very discriminating muse. =)

Happy 40th Anniversary, Sesame Street

Ok, this has got to be the last one, especially since today is the actual anniversary... My guess is that all the other Google Doodles were just leading up to this one. Very cute!

Happy 234th Birthday, USMC!!!

1, 2, 3, 4, United States Marine Corps

OORAH! OORAH!

(I wish I could remember the rest, but I was always bad when it came to cadences. I knew a couple and stuck with those.)

Just want to give a shout out to all our Marines at home and abroad. Thank you for your service!!!

Freedom is never free, so keep up the good fight!

Back-tracking just a bit

Here was the first Sesame Street Google Doodle from last week. I didn't want anyone to miss out, so I went in search of the image (thankfully, Google had it saved). =)

COUNT DRACULA!

I can't believe I forgot about him. I wonder how far they are gonna go with these? Like, what about Grover? and Prairie Dawn? and Kermit the Frog? and Mr. Snuffleupagus?!

And they saved the best for last!

Or, at least I am assuming this is the end of the Sesame Street characters on Google. I guess we will find out tomorrow...
