No. Checkerboard for me, makes me think masonic.

Probably just an effect from the magasine though ...

I actually think Oprah's neck pattern is more likely an image distortion caused by the scanner or image compression scheme (jpeg, gif etc) used in digitizing the image.
Notice the 'stair-steps' on the letters with angles (A, M, N, W).

Ok now that the cats out of the bag we can fill in this thread and" close the case"

You might have noticed an unexplained set of doodles on the Google homepage and a couple tweets from our official Twitter stream, @google, over the last two weeks. On September 5th, we posted a doodle with the abduction of our second 'o' and a coded tweet from its alien captors: 1.12.12 25.15.21.18 15 1.18.5 2.5.12.15.14.7 20.15 21.19, which translates into "All your O are belong to us" (a nod to the Japanese video game, Zero Wing).


We were delighted that people around the world played along with us and shared their theories for why we would have posted this "unexplained phenomenon."

Ten days later, the UFO returned. This time, it was to leave its mysterious mark on the fields.


While the link from the doodle to a search for "crop circles" didn't provide any more clues, we also tweeted the lat/long coordinates of Horsell Commons, the location of the first alien landing in H.G. Wells 1898 classic, The War of the Worlds. Some of you figured out what we were doing, but we weren't ready to reveal it all just yet.

Now, we're finally acknowledging the reason for the doodles with an official nod to Herbert George, who would be 143 years old today.


Inspiration for innovation in technology and design can come from lots of places; we wanted to celebrate H.G. Wells as an author who encouraged fantastical thinking about what is possible, on this planet and beyond. And maybe have some fun while we were doing it.

The invasion of the logo by alien crafts and pods makes our series complete, but you'll have to read the book to find out how Wells' story really ends.

Funny people these Googlians.

I'd thought i'd throw this next photo into the fray just for food for thought

The Google Maps Street View capture above shows what appears to be nine UFOs hovering over an east London neighborhood.

The link for the maps view is here but i was not able to reproduce the view of these objects.
