According to Wikipedia an Easter Egg is "an intentional hidden message, inside joke, or feature in a work such as a computer program, movie, book, or crossword." If you have time, try a few of these. (I found that they worked better in Google Chrome than in Internet Explorer.)
- Type the phrase "do a barrel roll" in the Google search bar for an interesting effect.
- Type the phrase "zerg rush" into the Google search bar for a quick game. Click on the O's three times to make them disappear and see if you get the high score!
- Type the word "tilt" or "askew" into the Google search bar.
- For you math geeks copy the following function into the Google search bar for an interesting graph:
- sqrt(cos(x))*cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5
- Ask Google Maps for walking directions from China to Japan. Around step 300 will be the instruction to jet ski across the Pacific Ocean.
- Ask Google Maps for walking directions from "the shire" to "mordor." You will receive a warning from The Lord of the Rings novels.
- Type "where's Chuck Norris" into the Google search bar and read the first result.
Please, tell me what your favorite "easter egg" is in the comments below. I know there are a lot more out there that I don't know about.
