Wonders of a Popular Search Engine

(AKA: things to do when you are bored!)

Google! Everyone's grandma and their dog knows how to use google and has used it at least once in their life. The people at Google like to fiddle around with programming, and include things that users (if they can find them) find amusing! They come in different shapes and sizes these easter eggs..

Currently- in the spirit of Christmas, or at least winter, type "let it snow" into google. Do you really want to defrost? Yeah..me neither..to bad though, you can't actually click on anything when it gets all foggy.

DO A BARREL ROLL- yeah type "do a barrel roll" into google. Self explanatory.

Not the same but... go to "thatsloco.com" it's 'Google Loco" and you can use it like regular google, just typing in funny symbols and stuff.

Googoth- another site, that is currently under maintenance. Used to look up dark and goth-y things... I guess...lol. "Googoth.com"

I have yet to try this one BUT- go to Picasa and "ctrl+shift+Y" repeat and apparently teddy bears will start appearing

"http://www.google.com/onceuponatime/mentalplex/" - year 2000 April fool's joke, was supposed to read your mind and predict what you were going to search for...or something

Go to your Gmail and to the spam folder....recipe with spam? check! (at the top part above the messages)


I'm sure there are other ones, but they are not readily available in my mind or on the interwebs at the moment. I will edit this if I find any more interesting ones (or not if I'm too lazy).

(Ed: Type "tilt" into google, and ...y'know... it tilts :P)

Things I use Google for?
-how to spell things
-dictionary (either directing me to an online dictionary, or just defining it for me after i type "[xyz] definition")
-actually searching things...
mostly it's the first two though, lol

Happy Googling!!
