Google the words "let it snow" and see what happens

As you watch, snowflakes fall, the Google search results page fogs up, and you can "wipe" it clean by clicking and holding the left button on the mouse and then dragging the cursor over the screen, or do the whole page at once by hitting the "defrost " button.

Aw, Redneck! So cute!

I just tried some of the other Google tricks.

Search for "askew" or "tilt" and the page goes askew.

Searching for "gravity" used to produce these results (try refreshing and then wiggling the page and see what keeps happening. Click on the parts or words after they fall and you can make them bounce around, too.)

Searching for "Chuck Norris" used to produce this:

"The Loneliest Number" search produces this:
http://www.google.com/search?client=...UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

(That song came out when I was a freshman in high school.)

Google "do a barrel roll".
