Something Cool!


Go to google.com and do a search for "do a barrel roll". Thats it, this is a hidden easter egg. Check it out

"Do a barrel roll" has become a trending topic on Twitter and elsewhere, thanks to an easter egg on Google Search.
Type the phrase in Google, and the screen will tumble around (it's a barrel roll, after all). The same thing happens if you search for "Z or R twice".

Because it was built in HTML5, it doesn't work on all browsers. Firefox and Chrome seem to support it best.
Both phrases are references to Star Fox 64, the classic 1997 Nintendo game, the game's veteran space pilot rabbit, tells hero Fox McCloud to "do a barrel roll" (a feat accomplished by pressing "Z" or "R" twice) multiple times throughout the game. The phrase spawned an Internet meme that has stood the test of time.

**Update**
Type in "tilt" or "askew"
