Today’s doodle can’t be clicked on. It is comprised of colorful balls that grow and fly around the screen as you move your mouse around the screen. It’s addicting…but unlike the PacMan doodle from a few months back, it’s not a game. So what is the mystery?<\/p>\n

Apparently, this bouncing doodle can only be seen in the UK and the US. And, it renders differently if you’re using Firefox vs Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n
