Title: Google releases a doodle for H.G Wells' birthday
Post by: Belmont2500 on September 21, 2009, 03:45:58 PM

when I logged on to Google today I was shocked, I saw that they had a new doodle up that was all about The War Of The Worlds, complete with Martian Fighting Machines(Tripods). I instantly searched on why they chose this theme and it was because today is H.G. Wells' birthday I was overjoyed one of my favorite authors was going be remembered by people around the world so I'll be sure to read The War Of The Worlds,The Time Machine,The Invisible Man, and The Island Of Dr. Moreau alot today, so kudos to you Herbert George Wells ,you were one of the best sci-fi authors of all time.

It is? I didn't know that.  And the best thing is his stories are all, I think, in the public domain so easy to find, even online.

Yes, not very likely he'll be forgotten anytime soon.
