Google count down

I'm sure you have seen on the news or in papers about UK Google's mystery count down when you click the I'm Feeling Lucky button.

I got out the calculator and it works out to be seconds to the new year.

I have no idea.... must be that Google is running a countdown ticker to the end of the year on one of their homepages???? I bet it's not nearly as interesting as this one........

Maggi

If you click on your Conference countdown  calender it takes you to a home page with lots of offers I find difficult to resist such as

'FREE Ovulation/Menstrual Calendar'. 'Trying To Conceive' 'and Debt Reduction Ticker' amongst others.
  Given the usual age grouping at the conference some of them are perhaps a bit optimistic although given the cost of these conferences the last one might be usefull!

So why do we have IVF then, if Google can solve everything?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

If they have "ovulation" and "Trying to Conceive" links.... I wonder whether we missed our chance with the "How to stop having miscarriages" link that could have solved all our problems.  ::) ::)

Ah, if only it was that easy.  ;)

Enough of my musings...... off to bed now.  Thanks to all for their various pics and comments throughout the forums that have brought enjoyment to my day today (and every other day!!).

Thanks everyone. 8) 8)
