Nifty fun thing to do if you have Firefox or Chrome as your browser

  1. Go to Google.
  2. Type 'let it snow' into the search box and either hit the [Enter] key or click on the search button.
  3. Watch the results with glee.
  4. Enjoy.
  5. [Defrost] if necessary.
:) You can also type 'Hannukkah' or 'Do a barrel roll' for interesting results. The Hannukkah one works in Internet Explorer but the others may not. They definitely do in Firefox and reportedly (of course, given it is Google's browser) work in Chrome. For more, check out PCWorld's Best of Google 2011: Gags, Easter Eggs, Pranks, and Games :).

By the way

Have you found the 'Easter Egg' in Google's search page for this month, which is Gay Pride Month? Type in 'gay', 'lesbian', 'transgender', or 'bisexual', hit enter, and a rainbow appears to the right of the search box. Some people are thrilled by it. Others are a little miffed that it didn't rate a whole-out doodle, although the actual anniversary of the Stonewall riots is the 28th of June, so I'm reserving judgment on that one. Anyway, go ahead and try it.
