Google's Masterpiece! Nose Smile 1 through 12!

If you're using google mail and chat, you'll know that it's a) great, b) great, and c) pisses off the network admins because it takes more than a Microsoft point-n-click to block it.

But did you know that it includes the pinnacle of Google development!? None other than ... Nose Smile 1, 2, 3, and so on through to twelve! WTF, I hear you say. It's the smiley replacement that google uses for the good old :-) emoticon. It looks like this when idle, and simple js mouse-over scripting lets it rotate through to this . Yeah, yeah, you've probably all noticed this before ... but I've only just seen it.

Small things amusing small minds, and all that. But it's the little touches that are so cool. And remember, this probably kept some of their 5000 PhDs busy for days
