Re:Google.pl's crazy doodle on Wednesday November 23, 2011 @11:06AM (#3270437)
The constructor you control in the doodle is Trurl, the other at the end is Klapaucius. The ending is from the first story in the Cyberiad where Trurl build a machine that can create anything that begins with the letter 'N' the Klapaucius tells it to create nothing and the machine destroys half the universe before they get it to quit.
