If you accessed Google via a web browser today, you probably noticed it looked a little different:
Earth Hour, for those of you in the dark, consists of the following:

You say chhhocolaaht, I say choklit
A personality test which tells you what kind of chocolate you like.
It guessed correctly for me….
(David, there is no option for “I friggin’ HATE chocolate.” Do you know why? Because choklit-haters are not to be trusted anyway, so no one would believe whatever you responded anyway.
