Furygun81 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesseboyd7 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 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. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unoservix Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 now what would be really cool is if the page does that if you press Z or R twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kab_49 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Fox Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EchoFox Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Neat. It is a shame that the youth of today will lack the memories, the nostalgia, of what this refers to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scourge Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 ...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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 now what would be really cool is if the page does that if you press Z or R twice Googling "Z or R Twice" also does it, though googling "ZZ" or "RR" does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psy_commando Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 What's surprising is that its actually the entire elements on the page moving, I wonder if its javascript or a servelet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Flare Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygun81 Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 ^ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
