I think we all know that Google has a sense of humor, with them celebrating various events in our history, holidays and the lives of famous artists, pioneers, and scientists thought its Doodles campaigns. But did you know that Google has some hidden Easter eggs in its services itself.

Hidden Breakout Game

Just do a image search for "atari breakout" and a game will magically appear.

 

The answer to life, the universe, and everything = 42

Google know absolutely everything even "The answer to life, the universe, and everything". This a reference to Douglas Adams's novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Some other searches to try are "the number of horns on a unicorn" , "the loneliest number", "once in a blue moon" and "a bakers dozen"

Anagram or did you mean nag a ram

Searching for "anagram" shows "Did you mean: nag a ram" in the English version which is a anagram itself. It also does this in other languages as well.

 

Do a barrel roll

Searching for "do a barrel roll" or "Z or R twice" will rotate the results page a full 360 degrees. This is a reference to the Nintendo video game Star Fox 64 for the Nintendo 64 console.

Google gravity

ALL of your icons will collapse, leaving you able to toss them around the screen as if they were floating in space. Although this is a third party Easter Egg we thought is was good.

 

The wonky page

THIS is probably how results look when you've got a hangover, anyway. Good trick to play on somebody's screen while they're away from it.

 

Zerg Rush mini game

Searching for "zerg rush" returns a search page with 'O's eating the search results. Clicking each 'O' three times kills it. This is a reference to an early attack known as a 'zergling rush' in the Blizzard game Starcraft. After the inevitable destruction of all links, the 'O's form the letters GG in reference to the standard end of game formality and means "good game"

 

Searrrch like a Pirate

Google offers services in many languages, including several uncommon ones like Swedish Chef's Bork bork bork, Pig Latin, Hacker (usually known as 1337sp34k),Elmer Fudd, Klingon and Pirate.

 

 

 

 

Find the legoman in Legoland California

Find lego land california and land the pegman into the resort. When dragged in the resort the "Peg Man" turns into a LEGOman

As a result, it can be said that Modafinil is a drug with various effects and having a small number of side effects.
