If you are using IE, it could be that your language preferance has changed ?. Check in the options tab.

OK...after a few times, the thing stopped doing it. I guess the people over at Google just wanted to have some fun, eh?

<edit> DOH! It's doing it again

Check (in IE):

Tools>Internet Options>Languages

also, this should have been in the internet forum

Hey, what's up with the Russian Google? That's not the same Google we know and love is it?

What about these others:

http://www.google.cz/
http://www.google.dk/

http://www.google.gs/
http://www.google.hu/
http://www.google.io/
http://www.google.no/
http://www.google.ph/
http://www.google.st/
http://www.google.tc/
http://www.google.td/


And even if you don't explore all the previous Google links, the following Google link has got to be the biggest mystery on the net. Or if it's not...it should be. Why? You just gotta experience it for yourself, to attempt to describe it with mere words is futile. All I know is I have this strange urge to get a groove on (whatever that means):

http://www.google.ws/

Lateral thinking, at its best. That's clever.
