Google Goofs

Google is probably the leading search engine most internet users used on a daily basis, but did you know that it's loaded with pranks, goofs and add-ons?

By searching for "Google Pig Latin" you can choose to have Pig Latin Google as your home page. It's just one of dozens of tricks you can play by hitting the I'm Feeling Lucky button on the Google Homepage.

And if you think you are bigger than Google, then try customise your search engine home page with your own name or phrase. To do that, search "Google Funny" and instead of the google title being displayed front and centre, you can have whatever you want. My favourite is Eric Is Awesome!! :)

Or are you a scholar looking for more sophisticated references? By searching for "Google Beta" you are given access to all the articles, journals and legal opinions you could hope for.

And are you unable to get on to Facebook - or any other site for that matter - because the boss has blocked it? Just type in cache:facebook.com and your problems are solved.

Too many searches and not enough time? Just type in "googlegooglegooglegoogle" and you will be given four smaller google screens on your page to hunt for four different things at the one time.

Ho cool is that?

P/S : If you guys reading already know about these little goofs, then tough luck! If not, have fun trying... :)
