17 Coolest Hidden Google Tricks:
Guys here is a list of some Google fun tricks. Have a look. There are some more and will be updated soon.
1. Walking to Mordor:
If you’ve ever watched
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (or just seen various versions of the
meme)
you may never stop laughing at this Google Maps quirk (or maybe it’s
just me). If you try to get walking directions from “The Shire” or
“Rivendell” to “Mordor” (just type in the words and ignore all the
auto-complete suggestions that pop up), Google will give you the route…
and a warning. In other news, according to my Google Maps,
Mordor is located just outside Cape Town, South Africa. Nice.
2. Barrel roll:
Endlessly entertaining, this one
trended
worldwide on Twitter in November. Simply search “do a barrel roll” — if
you have Google’s instant results functions enabled, your results page
will be spinning before you’ve completed the instruction.
3. 42:
What is 42, you ask? Geez, it’s only the answer to life, the universe and everything. Ok, so if you’ve never read or watched
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, you won’t get this one. But Google’s built-in calculator will.
4. Gravity:
If, by any chance, you feeling like searching “Google gravity” and
hitting “I’m feeling lucky”, don’t be surprised if Google comes crashing
down around you the second you move the mouse. (Hint: you can disable
Google’s instant results in your
account preferences page to make sure you get the ‘I’m feeling lucky’ option).
5. Recursion:
Google pokes fun at its own “did you mean” suggestions if you search
recursion (repetition or returning) by questioning your spelling even though you didn’t make a mistake.
6. Klingon:
So “GoogleDaq ylnej” means “Google search”. Hmmm. Who knew? Well, you, if you speak Klingon. Yes, there is a
Klingon version of Google. There is also a
pirate and
Elmer Fudd version, if that’s more your thing.
7. Kerning:
Designers will love this one — kerning is the spacing between letters
in a word. When you do a search for kerning, Google changes the spaces
between letters in the word ‘kerning’ in all the results. Heehee. You
see what they did there?
8. Hello, Nessy:
Picture this: You’re working under a tight deadline, your clock is
slowly counting the minutes past 3AM and your coffee and Red Bull combo
is failing. The sleep deprivation is starting to affect you — you are
starting to see things. You click to your home page, and there, rising
gracefully from the dark waves in your iGoogle theme, is the Lochness
Monster.
No, you’re not hallucinating — you really did see Nessy. If you are
ever awake and online at 3:14 AM (those are the first three digits in
Pi, by the way), and have the iGoogle beach theme installed, Nessy will
come to visit for a minute. If you’re not an insomniac, you can always
just change the timezone on your computer and in your iGoogle settings
and just wait until 14 minutes past the hour (I was in Bangkok last
night, as far as Google knows). Unfortunately, it looks like the monster
will be no more after iGoogle is
retired in November 2013.
9. Nagging Rams:
Similar to the ‘recursion’ response, if you search for ‘anagram’
(rearranging the letters in a word to make a new word or phrase, in case
you didn’t know), Google rearranges the letters to suggest you were
really searching for ‘nag a ram’.
10. Antarctic Penguins:
If you ever want to creep
the Antarctic
on Google Maps, you may be surprised to find the little orange peg man
you drag and drop to change to Google Street View has transformed into a
fat little penguin. Awwww.
11. Doodles:
What do you get if you don’t actually search for anything, and just hit ‘I’m feeling lucky’? A
catalogue of all the Google doodles — all the way back to 1998. There were just three in that year — there have already been 69 in 2012.
12. Konami ninja:
If you type in the
Konami code (a cheat code used in
Konami
games) in Google Reader, the side panel will turn blue and a cute ninja
will appear on the left of your screen. Use your arrow keys and keyboard
to enter the code — it’s up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right,
followed by the letters B and A. Like iGoogle’s Nessy, this one is going
away after Reader is retired in July 2013.
13. Street View team:
Ever wanted to see the people who work at Google doing cool things
like Google Street View? Well, if you hop along to the back of the
Google offices in Mountain View, you can see them all.
14. Laundry:
There are a lot of things Gmail can do for you — filter spam, flood
you with ads, apply a plethora of pretty coloured labels to your
messages — but, as yet, it can’t do your laundry. However, it is an
option on the ‘suggest a feature’
page for Gmail.
15. Pacman:
It started out as a Google doodle to commemorate the 30
th anniversary of Pacman in 2010, but the Google Pacman game was so popular, it was given a permanent
home.
16. Zerg rush:
Google “zerg rush” and prepare to defend your browser against hordes
of the letter ‘o’ in Google’s logo, which will start to destroy your
search results. They’re apparently undefeatable, but you can try to
fight them off by clicking on them and share your high score on Google
+. For those who aren’t familiar with
StarCraft, a ‘zerg rush’ is a tactic where swarms of aliens known as ‘zergs’ descend in multitudes in order to overwhelm their enemies.
17. You’ll never find Chuck Norris
Because Chuck Norris jokes never get old, there is a warning hidden
in Google search results to ward off those who dare to attempt to find
him. Just search ‘find Chuck Norris’ and hit ‘I’m feeling lucky’ and
you’ll see what I mean.
