Google has once again surprised us with another of their now infamous homepage doodles. This time, the search giant is celebrating breakthroughs in technology and they have created a rather slick X-Ray design.
You are probably not aware, but the 8th November actually marks 115 years since the X-Ray was first invented. The honor goes to German physics professor Wilhelm Röntgen who discovered the use of an X-Ray way back in 1895.
Google doesn’t forget anyone though, and to celebrate, visiting their homepage will bring up a cool blue neon design. You may just think that this is a logo, but if you take a closer look, it’s actually an animation as you can see glows of radiation emitting from the letters.
The question is though, when was the last time that you had to have an X-Ray? Luckily, it has been over a few years since I last had one, but I always remember the strange experience seeing those X-Ray photos hung up on display. Let us know your experience of X-Rays below.
You can read a full overview at Wikipedia here.
My screen of google hompage is what i really know. I think this information made me dizzy because i came here before for googles twelve bhirthday!

talking abou x-rays
does anyone else notice the obviious 69 in that doogle?
Sorry, but Nikola Tesla already knew about X-Rays 3 years prior to the so-called 'discovery' by Wilhelm Röntgen.
Honest mistake though. It's not the first time somebody else got the credit he deserves.
Phenomena are not invented, they are discovered.
I had my last x-ray in the Royal Children's hospital. I have titanium rods in my spine and i've had numerous x-rays on my spine because i had a curvature of the spine.
My experience with x-rays are not that bad, the worst of them was in a hospital bed, when a board had to be put under my spine whilst i was laying down. The x-rays they take are send electronically to minimise physical x-rays.
I've also had chest x-rays and a wrist x-ray.
