Unexplained Phenomenon - Google
Not sure what this is about?

I haven't posted here for a long time - not sure if this is an appropriate topic for here or if I am being dumb or what, but...

Today I noticed that on my computer Google was being strange - the options for images, videos, mail etc were not at the top of the page as they usually are. I tried searching for reasons why this might be, but couldn't find any answers.

I then noticed the Google sign today is a UFO. I clicked it and the top search results are about 'unexplained phenomenon'. Thinking this might explain the unexplained phenomenon of the missing options, I searched further and found that the google twitter has a code on it - link - http://twitter.com/google

Apparently translated this says 'All your O's are belong to us'.

Sorry if I am barking up the wrong tree - but I thought if anyone knew what this was about you guys might. I tried searching to see if anyone had already posted but didn't find anything?

Question

Hope this turns into something.
The peeps over at google have a sense of humour anyway. There was that infamous(ly average) april fools prank, about the AI that became self aware and decided all it wanted to do was create web pages about cartoon pandas :]

Well i know the folks over at www.unexplained-mysteries.com/ (who are quite high up the results list) weren't expecting it.

They initially thought their servers were being DDOSed!

Though that's a nice find, the interwebz being what they are, I would be cautious about handing over money. Robtex says: "Created On:05-Sep-2009 13:30:14 UTC " that was after the google doodle appeared, wasn't it? That makes me suspicious.

edit: spelling

the code reads "all your OARE belong to us"

I think the OARE reads Online Access to Reasearch Environment

It is already in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us
Quote:

On September 5, 2009 Google's Twitter page carried the message "1.12.12 25.15.21.18 15 1.18.5 2.5.12.15.14.7 20.15 21.19" which translates to "All Your o Are Belong To Us", a reference to All your bases belong to us. [8], posted in conjunction with a Google Doodle depicting an UFO[1] and linking to the phrase "unexplained phenomena"[2].

Perhaps we should make this thread the predicting of the event the Google logos will take on.
