1. Like it too, but it gave me a bit of a giggle...

like the drive up ATM I went to when they first stared using Braile on the keypad.

[kliljedahl]

11. Yeah what's up with that?

Still cracks me up, but then I'm easily entertained.

15. Am thinking the manufactures of those keypads just make one model

but when they first came out with Braile, the first one I saw was at a drive in ATM... months before they put them on the walk up ATMs.

Guess the blind guy was the only one who wasn't drunk so he got to drive?

[kliljedahl]

16. Oh, now quit thinking logicaly

Not nearly as funny that way.

5. Its Louis Braille's Birthday

When you move the cursor over the braille, it says Happy Birthday Louis Braille.

6. Why can't I see this? This is the second msg. like this

I've seen today; all I'm getting is some braille over where you enter your query.

[Skinner]

10. That's what you're supposed to see. (nt)

[babylonsister]

12. Got it; after all the hoopla, I guess I expected more. nt

9. Kind of ironic isn't it?

That it serves only as a function to remind us of the existance of braille and vision impared people yet they can't use it on a flat monitor...

[mcscajun]

14. True...but as Google quite properly put an Alt tag on the image

the vision-impaired will hear it on their speech-output browsers when they mouse over it.

17. The monster that ate the internet cracks a joke.

While most people are thinking "Huh? Is that Braille?" people who usually have trouble reading the internet easily read Google's happy birthday message.
