Non-Yankee Doodle Dandy
20th July 2011
Some of us remember this as the day that man landed on the moon, a proud day in the history of mankind and in the history of America.
Google decided to show a doodle honoring Gregor Mendel — a fine person, to be sure, and important in the Great Scheme of Things … but more important than landing on the moon?
I wonder whether they’d have done a moon-landing doodle if it had been somebody other than Americans who had first landed on the moon.

More than likely they would have.
