Google doodle history is fun. Check these out.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

They did. For the whole month of March.

That's all we saw today too, only ours has "Canada" in the bottom right under "Google"
