Here’s the graphic you get when you do a Google search today:

You say that perhaps Google is actually honoring Magritte? Well, I beg to differ.

Although I must say the Google image is rather reminiscent of Magritte’s “Golconda:”

    The first illo is obviously a reference to the new neo-neocon anthem:

    It’s raining men
