Standing in its rightful place between a donut and a cupcake on Google’s campus in Mountain View, Google’s Android, dressed as a pirate for Halloween, salutes passersby. I have no idea why it’s holding a shopping bag, but it does have a peg leg!

Google’s not the only company celebrating. If you tweet ONLY ‘#trick’ or ‘#treat’ on the Twitter.com Web site, your dashboard will get a friendly visit from this bird:

For overly enthusiastic cube monkeys in need of costume ideas, here’s inspiration from Twitter employee Charles Magnuson.

    Why, to hold all of his Halloween loot, of course. Its not as tho he's got any pockets in that green, metal - well, Ok, its really just sculpted foam - suit, right? ;)

    Plus, that bag looks almost exactly like the icon for Android Market. What a coincidence. LOL

  • I guess it makes sense that Android didn't dress up like a facebook profile or a lingerie model. Granted I have written about private nurses and trophy wives at http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com but is there any creativity in Halloween costumes anymore? Also, seriously? It is a trick or treat bag, maybe a pillowcase would have been clearer ;)
