Google has become so much a part of our lives that when you search for something, it’s automatically, “Google It” as the answer. But do you know that aside from searching, Google has ingeniously and creatively put up some things that will make your search page fun and will make you take your mind off some pressing matters that’s stressing you out. After all, what are a few minutes of fun?
On your browser, ready your www.google.com tab for some experimenting. We are so sure that there are more than 10 (and we'd like to hear from you if you have discoveries yourself) but for the meantime, go gaga in tinkering the following:
1. Why, google, why? And just because they said Google cannot answer everything, they really stood up to the challenge. Google now has an answer to life and all. Type this: answer to life universe and everything and yes, it has an answer.
2. Fly Away! All you frustrated pilots can have minutes of relishing your dreams when you simply go to Google Earth and click [CTRL] + [ALT] + [A] and you can launch a fight stimulator. Keyboard controls here--> https://support.google.com/earth/ans...6993&ctx=topic
3. Incognito Chuck Norris. Type: FIND CHUCK NORRIS and hit “I’m feeling lucky”. Check out the answer and the url, too.
4. Rolling! Want to have some wake-me-ups? Type DO A BARREL ROLL and hit enter. Check it out!
5. Mirror, Mirror on Google! The ingenuity of Google just amazes me. On your browser url window (not the google search space), type elgoog.im/ (which is I’m google backwards) and ouy lliw evah a tol fo nuf!
6. Starcraft Zergs. In need of few games to take your mind off things? All you Starcraft lovers will love this! I am sure you are familiar with the term zerg race where there is an ability to overwhelm their opponents to a fast victory. So try typing in Zerg Rush in Google search and your normal results page becomes a game console of falling Google-colored “o”s. This mini game needs you to click the “o”s and destroy them before they eliminate the entire page.
7. Google Selfies! Would you like to see your name or any other name in the Google homepage? Type in funnygoogle and click the first search result. You will be directed to a new homepage where you are then asked to type your name or any other name that you’d like to appear. And tah-dah!!! There goes your name as the Google logo!
8. Are you feewing wucky? It is not a new thing that you can search Google in many different languages. But what’s really fun is that it also has a feature that can access you to made-up languages such as that of Elmer Fudd, Klingon, Pirate, Pig Latin? Type this in your url window: https://www.google.com/intl/xx-elmer and check out how you can connect by being Elmer Fudd! Other languages can be accessed in a similar way (xx-piglatin; xx-klingon; xx-pirate)
9. Binary Schimnary. Every search item in the search box shows you the number of results. Try typing BINARY and you will see about About 0b1000111000011000111101000000 results (__ seconds), which of course is binary.
10. Yes, you really are just feeling lucky! Here’s the fun part. Do not type anything. Just click I’m feeling lucky and you can see all Google doodles starting from 1998 up to present.
So, having fun? What other Google tricks do you know?
