hi,

relax, it was a one day 30th anniversary celebration of the release of the 
pacman game.
hopefully it will disappear soon.
if you are good, you can jump to the search box quickly and type in your 
search and start getting results before the game automatically starts. you
could have also used yahoo instead.
