I just saw this today also...Weird!

I assume this has something to do with google instant search that doesn't work in Opera and I disabled for my account?

Predicted this topic just from the title. :tongue:

It's a cool little easter egg, but I can see it being annoying if that's what you actually wanted to search for.

The effect is cooler with instant search on, but it should work without it.

» Thu Dec 08, 2011 4:59 pm

Type in.

"Chuck Norris"

Then click

"I'm feeling lucky"

Search results: " You don't find Chuck Norris. He finds you"

That depends on what browser you are using. I tried it in Firefox and it worked, but as with many things google does, Opera gets the shaft.

That was amazing. I posted in on Facebook to spread the awesomeness of Google.

Yeah, someone at college showed me this earlier today. Pretty hilarious.

I know thsi si from Starfox, but when I putit in on google, nothing cool happens. It just searches "do a barrle roll".

According to the first linked article, if you have an HTML5 enabled browser, the page will spin. (Didn't work on either of my browsers, but I don't keep them updated. I actually went back to Firefox 3 from 4, because the changes they made were terrible.)

Type in.

"Chuck Norris"

Then click

"I'm feeling lucky"

Search results: " You don't find Chuck Norris. He finds you"

Huh. That didn't work either... it just sent me straight to Chuck's official site. :shrug:

There's your problem. Unless that was a joke?

I'm not even sure anymore...

» Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:50 pm

Nothing happened.

Go on Google and type 'Askew'.

» Thu Dec 08, 2011 11:15 am

Go on Google and type 'Askew'.

Oh wow. Kind of makes me want to try random phrases in Google and see what else is hidden in there.

» Thu Dec 08, 2011 8:02 pm

I tried to type "do a 360"....same thing.

Doesn't take much to amuse the masses....

See my sig.

» Thu Dec 08, 2011 8:30 pm

Doesn't work for me either, but I'm still using FF 3.6. I suppose I should change that some time. But I get so tired of "having" to update web browsers/software that I put it off as long as possible - they just seem to get more and more bloated with "features" I neither want or use.

This is awesome, but my screen does a barrell roll after I only type 'do a'.

Google knows all.

One step closer towards Google's world domination.

» Thu Dec 08, 2011 7:40 pm

Wow. That was annoying. Actually, it was kind of amusing but maybe I'm just a little envious of someone that gets paid to do stuff like this.

F5 has now become my new boredom button.

Is this humor? I just don't know squat about this forum any longer. :rolleyes:

And yeah, looks like the Google search engine is a bit smarter than "do a barrle roll" as they are with many typos.

Go on Google and type 'Askew'.

Now that right there is funny. I wonder how many more there are.

How so? If you're searching for that you're probably into Star Fox anyways so it just makes it more awesome, plus it only takes a couple of seconds

Yeah, what if you want to do a search for "do a search". :facepalm:
