Second Grader Scores Pirate Booty!

[Thagarr]

I was doing my daily searching for pirate news on Google this morning when I noticed the Google icon had changed and had been replaced by a hand drawn pirate scene! I did a bit of investigating and found out that the picture was a winning submission by a Wisconsin toddler for Google's Doodle 4 Google competition. Perhaps I have misjudged today's education system, it's probably just a fluke, but this little guy is sure starting off on the right course!

"If I could travel in time, I'd visit...," Dylan created a pirate scene doodle that features a vibrant parrot, a rotund swashbuckler and a treasure chest full of loot to form the Google logo. According to Dylan, he'd ideally, "Sail a pirate ship looking for treasure, have a colorful pet parrot and enjoy beautiful sunsets from deserted islands." Sounds quite nice -- especially without the scurvy. For his creativity, Google has awarded Dylan with a $30,000 college scholarship, a Chromebook computer and a $50,000 technology grant to his school.
