With Harry Houdini doodle, Google has a curious new patent up its sleeve

Today's Harry Houdini logo is the first to appear after Google
received a very interesting patent. The "Google doodle" – which shall
forever after be known as the 'System and Method For Enticing Users To
A Web Site' – has been approved by the US patent office.
