Another nifty addition to Google’s extensive list of easter eggs: if you search for the phrase “do a barrel roll”, the entire screen will do just that, rotating the entire screen 360 degrees before presenting the results.
The trick works in Chrome, Firefox and Safari (but not in Internet Explorer). For more fun with Google results, check our best Google search tricks and easter eggs.
