google, security questions

So...I learned something today that I thought might save others time. My homepage on my desktop is Google. Partly because I Google 5-10 times a day. I don't know where I would get the answers to all my questions without it. Yes I do.... I call the deep blogging boyfriend with questions all day. Anyways, sometimes the google home page is themed or decorated for different events. Nine times out of ten I do not know what they stand for or their relevence to anything. I used to google "what is the theme of the word google" and the answer would come up. For instance, today the google site has cookie monster in the background. In the past I would have googled, "why is cookie monster in the Google Homepage." Not anymore. You can simply click on the word "Google" and the info about the theme will come up! What will they think of next? Cookie Monster is on the page today becasue Sesame Street is celebrating 40 years. I love Sesame Street and watched it all the time when I was little. My child wants nothing to do with it. As I was thinking about Google I thought of another thing on my computer that I dislike. Whenever I type a web address on facebook or try to copy and paste something on line those security questions appear. The ones that make you re-type ridiculous words. They bother me because they are not even secure so what is the point? If there is a long word I simply hit submit and it gives me another one. Also, If I accidently type it incorrectly it just makes me do another one. I do not like the security questions but I have admited something I do like. Google.
