The first couple on our list is sure to bring back fond memories of John Cusack and boom boxes. This octopus and seagull appear to be a strange pairing but octopus knows how to bring it鈥檚 A-game. Maybe it was the boneless body or maybe seagull鈥檚 father just didn鈥檛 approve of his octopus lifestyle -- either way, the seagull was won over with not one, not two, but three boom boxes.
That鈥檚 right: Our octopus took a page out of Cameron Crowe鈥檚 hit film "Say Anything" for this romantic gesture. Armed with all three boom boxes, Octopus has caused Seagull to faint. Will Seagull end up with Octopus? Who knows? But what is certain is that you can almost hear Peter Gabriel鈥檚 鈥淚n Your Eyes鈥� playing.
Google Doodles are known for their surprises and Easter eggs. This year鈥檚 Valentine's Day doodle shows all side of dating -- the good, the bad, the ugly, and the apathetic.
We鈥檝e counted 10 couples for this year鈥檚 V-day doodle and the celebration doesn鈥檛 stop there. The doodle, which also commemorates George Ferris, has these odd couples falling in love while onboard his great invention: the Ferris wheel. Ferris created the Ferris wheel for the 1893 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago. He was tasked with creating something new, something big, and above all else, something that could rival the Eiffel Tower. At first, expo organizers called him a "crackpot," dismissing the idea of a giant, vertical, spinning wheel. But he persevered. Ferris unveiled his wheel at the fair and the rest, as they say, is history.
Sadly, Ferris would only live until the age of 37.
So here鈥檚 to the lovers, the best friends, the octopi and seagulls, to those who are single, and especially to George Ferris.
