What happens when you google "do a barrel roll."

Looking for some stories?

:( I can't make the barrel roll work!

The tilt works though...that's awesome.

Okay, how can I get this tilt thing to work?

It appears "tilt" only works on mobile browsers.

... although I just tried it on my iPod and it seems it doesn't work on my Mobile Safari. Though mine is probably a few versions behind because Apple isn't letting me upgrade my iOS version past 4.3

All three commands are working for me in Chrome as well (which makes sense, I suppose).

Let it snow doesn't seem to work right now on IE or FF (though the first link is to a page for showing off IE's hardware-accelerated graphics).

The zerg rush got me, I didn't see the O's were also attacking from below.

They probably retired "let it snow" for the season because it's not winter in the northern hemisphere anymore.

I remember they used to add a rainbow to the results if you googled anything that included the word "gay".

Have to admit zerg rush and barrel roll were the best I've seen out of them.

I don't see anything funny here, all I get is directions to somewhere in England and in Netherlands, respectively.
