[Magdalen] Today's Google Doodle?

[Eleanor Braun]

The Google Doodle for May 4 celebrated Bartolomeo Cristofori’s 360th
Birthday, he being the inventor of the piano, apparently.

May 4 was also Star Wars Day, thus "May the Fo(u)rth be with you". Which
has nothing to do with the invention of the piano.

Today, May 5, Google is celebrating Nellie Bly with their doodle, and with
original music written for this doodle:

Hope that clarifies....
