It's time for yet another Google doodle and this time it's in Harry Houdini's remembrance. Google's logo on the search engine giant's homepage today commemorates the fabled magician and escapologist, Harry Houdini's 137th birthday.
Who is Harry Houdini, I hear you ask? Well, this is what Wikipedia has to say on Harry Houdini -- incidentally, if you click on Harry Houdini's Google doodle on Google's homepage, the first search result pops up a Wikipedia entry on Houdini:
Houdini was a Hungarian-born American magician and escapologist, stunt performer, actor and film producer noted for his sensational escape acts. He was also a skeptic who set out to expose frauds purporting to be supernatural phenomena.
Houdini's legacy as a performer and entertainer has been kept alive through popular culture even after all the years after his death. Death Defying Acts starring Guy Pearce and Catherine Zeta Jones chronicles Harry Houdini's life and even Assassin's Creed II had paid a small homage to Harry Houdini in the game.
Today's Harry Houdini Google doodle is a static image of Houdini shackled in chains.
