For those of you using both Firefox & Google type this " do a barrel roll" in the search bar & hit search!
Too much time on my hands or no TV worth the trouble!

Either I am drunk, or that is a pretty cool trick :)

Tested it on Chomium, Lubunto 10.4 on my Atom 1GB RAM netbook,.

On Opera, "tilt" works, but "do a barrel roll" doesn't.

No idea why.

"askew" does the same as "tilt".

Another one: try entering "google gravity" and hit "I'm feeling lucky".

I just get the first dozen of 49 million immediate responses, all beginning 'do a barrel roll'. The same as when you google anything at all, but even more useless than usual.

I think Mac may be the problem in my case.

Try typing "let it snow" (without the quotes) in the search box of Google and hit Enter.

Wait for the screen to "frost up" and then write in the frost with your mouse!

Seems to bring up an interesting and accurate wiki page on my computer.

The effect is increased when a(ny) search term is entered in the usual fashion afterwards.
