Google does a barrel roll

Doodle Dojo just came across this and forwarded it to me, so here it is. When you type into on the main google page (www.google.com) 'do a barrel roll', and Instant is on, then the page... Does a barrel roll. Literally, the page pulls a 360 and does a barrel roll. I tried it and it worked but if you can't get it to work then... Oh well :?

Just thought I'd make a post 'cause it's Star Fox related.

It's so cool to see a 360 rotation of google's website when entering 'do a barrel roll' in the search term. Is it a possibility to have this site have 'do a barrel roll' search term appear page 1? I don't see this site on page 1. :/

now what would be really cool is if the page does that if you press Z or R twice

If you type in "Z or R twice" it also does the 360 degree page turn.

Unfortunately the spin doesn't work in Opera browser.

Aww, guuuys, I tried this!

I really did. But this weird message popped up. It read:

"CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT, GREEN FOX!"

No, really, just kidding.

...and to think, not 2 days ago I said google was a monopolizing monstrosity seeking to devour the entire internet and bring upon the uprising of our google overlords.. Yet now I cant help but feel they had a representative in my town that day and went back and told their guys to code that in.. Okay, google now = 21% more awesome :D

Googling "Z or R Twice" also does it, though googling "ZZ" or "RR" does not.

What's surprising is that its actually the entire elements on the page moving, I wonder if its javascript or a servelet?

From what I hear, CSS3.

Awesome. Although I only had to type in "do a" and it already began barrel-rolling. Some people may freak out if they're searching something entirely unrelated that begins with "do a"... :P

^ It's because it's in your related searches, and Google tries to guess what you're typing. If it guesses 'do a barrel roll' and 'Instant Mode' is on, it'll begin barrel rolling.
