I typed in the query:
when was vincent van gogh born? and hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button - possibly the third or fourth time ever to use that. Got this page: http://www.rcs.k12.va.us/csjh/8th_03/danie...elZ/daniel1.htm <edit -spelling> |

Sometimes it is hard to pick just one person.
On Born-Today you will get a small overview of all the "famous" people born on a specific day(eg 30 march). Rgds T. |

Happy Birthday, Vinnie.
From age 27 to 37, Van Gogh painted an unbelievable 872 paintings, averaging 4 per day. Sadly, he only sold one painting during his lifetime and never imagined one of his pieces would later fetch $53.9 million (Irises, auctioned in 1987) , the highest price ever paid for a piece of art. |

That is probably the best two or three logos Google have done so far.
I really liked the Escher logo a bit more, but this one is excellent. http://www.google.com/intl/en/holidaylogos03.html  |

I hadn't seen the full collection before, Michael. Thanks for surfacing that. It's very impressive.
