Is it like pig latin day or something? Google.com is all in pig latin. Here is a screenshot incase you miss it.
Update: Something is strange, it doesn’t work with IE or Safari, and none of my friends get the pig latin page except for me….
Update 2: Tivo-Guy found this link. Still no clue how and why I am getting piglatin as default for my google.com page.

I got it too, and was wondering whether it was a joke a co-worker was playing on me (unlikely, as I had used Google not too much earlier and I’m pretty sure no one touched my computer but me between then and when it changed to pig latin) or just a Google joke. Expecting the latter, I have been expecting to see more in the news describing it as a gag to publicize their pig latin option for searching in other languages. It does work with Safari (that’s what I use), and should work with IE as well. All that’s happened it your google prefereces have been changed to say “View Google in Pig Latin.” So you can easily change them back if you like. Personally, I’ve changed mine to Elmer Fudd. 🙂 The question is, though, who changed the prefs? It’s hilarious, but is it a gag by google for IPs that visit their site frequently/have customized their google prefs in some way (ie. news, etc), a glitch in the system (I doubt it–why would it just happen to be pig latin rather than one of their many real languages?) or some sort of outside hack? If anyone finds out, let me know…
