The thread about the Ibn Battuta was locked (http://blogoscoped.com/forum/177804.html) so that's why this new post. Maybe someone can merge the two threads together?

Anyways, @George R I was suprised that the doodle came up a few days later, I thought I missed it but now I think the logo never made the homepage just like the recent Russian doodle. http://blogoscoped.com/forum/177294.html

I wonder why.
