Type in, do a barrel roll. Hit enter.

Was I supposed to get something besides a list of topics about barrel rolling?

Some browsers, like IE, don't support it, but in Chrome and Firefox the screen rotates 360 degrees.

Google inserts jokes into different sites. They call them Easter Eggs. For the geeks to look for, I guess.

News for askew

His Wig May Be Askew, but This Singer Has Range
Pittsburgh Post Gazette‎ - 8 hours ago

The singer is over six feet tall, with a figure more like a wrestler's than an ingénue's, and is typically a mess: wig askew, vintage dress often ...
Luke Askew Lung Cancer: 'Big Love' Actor Dies At Age 80; How Is Age A Factor In Cancer?
Huffington Post‎ - 3 days ago

a·skew/əˈskyo͞o/
Adverb:
1.Not in a straight or level position: "the door was hanging askew on one twisted hinge"; "her hat was slightly askew".
2.Wrong; awry: "the plan went sadly askew"; "outrageous humor with a decidedly askew point of view".
I must have something in my browser blocking this awesomeness. Or, it's April 1st again.

ETA: That makes sense, Froggie. I've been using Opera with IE as a secondary (work doesn't support anything other than IE).

I switched to Chrome over a year ago. I still have IE on my task bar and do open it occasionally, but I have to chuckle. Chrome is much sleeker and more convenient. It always sucks to change browsers ut I'm really glad I did. Also, it's easy to import bookmarks, etc, so I didn't lose anything in the switch.

Anyhoo, in Chrome, when you search 'askew' or tilt, the text is tilted to one side. Just one of those things that brings a smile to your face.
