Google has a tradition of perpetrating hoaxes, especially on April Fools' Day, as well as various hidden cool tricks. Some of them;

1. Typing the word "Tilt" in google search, makes the page 'lean' to the right a bit. Searching for anything else puts it right back.

2. Searching for "zerg rush" in google returns a search page with 'O's eating the search results. Clicking each 'O' three times kills it.

3. Searching for, "what is the answer to life the universe and everything". opens a calculator with the answer to your question in it grin

4. Typing "do a barrel roll" will rotate the results page a full 360 degrees.

5. Google has created several spoof versions of its homepage, including one for pirates, and another specifically for Looney Tunes character Elmer Fudd. There is also a hacker language and the "bork, bork, bork!" language. Go to settings in google and click edit language to see these languages.

6. Open google maps and search for this location: "47.110579, 9.227568". Click the green arrow to zoom in and then view the clouds. You will see a picture of god standing on a cloud.

7. Searching for "atari breakout" in Google images will turn the resulting images into bricks that you can play a game with, in the style of Atari's game Breakout. You nay have to wait for 5 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection, before the brick game comes up.

8. Type or paste this "http://www.mrdoob.com/projects/chromeexperiments/google-gravity/" in your google chrome address bar, click enter and watch gravity collapse your google page. The search page still works, with new search results piling up.
