Confused when you went to Google today?  Don’t worry, every one was.

Google has a long history of playing with the logo on their search page to honor various little known anniversaries and holidays, and the one for today is no different.  57 years ago today, the ubiquitous barcode was invented.  If you head over to OnlineBarcodeReader.com you’ll be able to decrypt the image, and all it says is “Google”, nothing insidious!

If you want to make you own barcode for just about anything, head over to Barcodes Inc. and you can make your very own in just a matter of seconds.
