If you search up "Phoebe Buffay" on google, pictures of Lisa Kudrow should show up. Under the pics and next to the name, there should be a guitar. Click it, and you'll see what will happen.

Search “Super Mario Bros,” on google and one of the "?" blocks from that series will show up in the Knowledge Graph card on the right. Click it, and you’ll be treated the same coin-dispensing sound effect you’d hear in the original games.

Knowing hotkeys for Excel... primarily that F2 puts the cursor in the selected cell so you don't have to click, click, click to do it.

If you guys are still in school and use Quizlet then there's a way to breeze by the learning tool. What you do is when you click on learn theres a button in the bottom corner that says options i belive. Set that to written answers only. That way when it tells you to write an answer instead of multiple choice you can type in anything. It will say that you got it wring but theres an override button which will give you the point.

Im sorry if that was confuesing ;w;

Sometimes I have so many tabs open at once that the tabs look squished together and it's hard to change back and forth between them. If you double click on the tab it will have the option "Add tab to new group" you can add as many tabs to a group as you want, and you click on the group button to view all of them and click again to his, this just makes organizing a bit easier. You can also change the color of each group!

If you have Windows on your computer, this nifty trick can work for you.

1. Click on the Windows logo in the bottom left hand corner of your screen, if you have it.

2. Search either "bubbles.scr", "ribbons.scr", or "mystify.scr".

3. Open the program and your screen should be filled with a multi-colored pattern.

Once you move your mouse the effect disappears, but it's a gorgeous screen saver!

OKAY MY TOP FAVORITE:
Go to google.com and search 'text adventure'. Open the JavaScript developer console by pushing Command+Option+J on a Mac, or Ctrl+Shift+J on Windows.
You should see a prompt asking if you 'would like to play a game?' Type yes and push enter, and the game will start!
It's kind of like a choose-your-own-adventure.

Yeah so I haven't seen this in this thread yet: go to google.com/teapot.
Oh, and type in blink HTML. scroll down and look closely.
Type marquee HTML and look at the type where it says "about [number] results (0.[number] seconds)"
type google in 1998.
type:
-is google down
-recursion
-1.2+(sqrt(1-(sqrt(x^2+y^2))^2) + 1 - x^2-y^2) * (sin (10000 * (x*3+y/5+7))+1/4) from -1.6 to 1.6
-Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput! to English
And finally, as I am pan, if you go to Google Sheets and write “PRIDE” with each letter in a separate spreadsheet column will trigger rainbow columns.

1) Googling 'festivus' to get an image and a message beneath the search bar.
2) Google 'Bletchley park', World War II's codebreaking site.
3) Google 'spinner' to find a couple interactive spinners.
4) I don't know if this only works on a phone, but searching certain animals (Such as a horse, cat, or wolf) results in a 3d model of that creature.
