It turns out that Google did that on purpose to promote "Earth Hour Day." This is another one of those annoyingly meaningless "green" exercises which invites people to turn out their lights from 8:00pm to 9:00pm (in their local time zones) to combat global climate change.
My guess is that the energy saved by the handful of people who actually do turn out their lights for an hour will be more than offset by the extra electricity expended by Google users who take longer with their searches because of the f'd up home page (I'm just sayin').
