Google barrel roll !



Try typing "do a barrel roll" in the google search bar, see what happens! The whole search webpage rotates and comes to its original position. The "do a barrel roll" is one of the many google easter eggs. For example in google maps at instances one of the directions may also read "swim __KM through the Pacific Ocean and you will reach your destination!

This trick is achieved through  CSS Level 3 transitions and has function which only activates this program when the words "do a barrel roll" are typed. This trick is working on google chrome , mozilla firefox and Opera web browser.

The trick has been there for about a week and people are finding it very amusing and fun to watch, and also it also has been doing rounds on social networks such as twitter and facebook

Happy rolling!
