To celebrate Father's Day, Google's doodlers offer an interactive glimpse of all the things dads have been and are. June 16, 2013 10:00 AM PDT (Credit: Screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET) Sunday is the day when fathers are celebrated for what they are: bankers. Well, and stoics, gardeners, philosophers, carpenters, tap dancers, soccer coaches, barbecuers -- and, of course, miserable, grouchy men. For all these reasons and many more, Google would like you to celebrate the man whose chemicals helped bring you into the world.

(Yes, you can click through to gift suggestions.) Father's Day is celebrated in many countries today -- from Kuwait to Cyprus, Ghana to the Netherlands.

Now, it has blossomed into a veneration of the finer side of fatherhood. However you choose to honor, please, delight, surprise or tolerate your father today, please remember this: somewhere inside, he knows what he's really like, so he'll be very, very grateful.
