Google gets Amelia Earhart's Vega wrong

Google homepage today "honors" Amelia Earhart, so say lots of flaks who don't know a Vega from a vegan. The stylized Vega has "G" under the right wing and "GLE" under the left. I guess we're supposed to see "GOOGLE." What I saw was a "G" representing aircraft registration for Great Britain.

And if I study the drawing real hard, I see "GOO" "GLE." Pronounced Goo-glee.

Google itends to get its name associated with various birthdays and events of history. The marking of Lincoln's Gettysberg Address could very well be, "Four score and Googly years ago ..." Or the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these Googles to be self evident ..."
