    ok so my coworker told me to type "do a barrel roll" into Google search. I did, and the whole results page rotated 360 degrees :D Then I tried "askew" and teh page tilted slightly to the side.

    my favorite, though, is searching "recursion". google shows "Did you mean: recursion", linking back to the same search, forever :) that's a joke only programmers will appreciate. these have been around for years. which other Google easter eggs still work? any ideas??

    the anagram search suggesting "nag a ram" is another long-running one, since "nag a ram" is an anagram of anagram.

    google Gravity was a Chrome Experiment made by a third party, not part of Google search. searching for it just gives you links to copies.

    hmm idk these are cute, but they're really old news to anyone who was online in the early 2010s.
