Newton AppleIssac Newton was sitting under an apple tree, an apple fell on his head and that inspired Newton to develop his theory of gravity.

Today is the 366th birthday of Sir Isaac Newton and Google is celebrating it with an interesting logo on their homepage.

This is probably the first Google Doodle that’s animated but they haven’t used Flash or GIF animation for this logo – it’s a simple JavaScript. Hat tip Suhel.

<img width="384" height="138" border="0" onload="window.lol&amp;&amp;lol();setTimeout(function(){var h=0,v=1,f=document.getElementById('fall'),i=setInterval(function(){if(f){var r=parseInt(f.style.right)+h,b=parseInt(f.style.bottom)-v;f.style.right=r+'px';f.style.bottom=b+'px';if(b>-210){v+=2}else{h=(v>9)?v*0.1:0;v*=(v>9)?-0.3:0}}},25);google.rein&amp;&amp;google.rein.push(function(){clearInterval(i);h=0;v=1})},2000)" style="margin-top: -1.22em;" id="logo" title="Birthday of Sir Isaac Newton" alt="Birthday of Sir Isaac Newton" src="/logos/newton10-tree.jpg"/>
