 Here are some Google hacks to show off to your friends. Including Google Loco, Hacker's Font, Elmer Fudd, Devil Google, xx-klingon, Google Penguin, Easter Google, The answer to life the universe and everything, Gothic Google, Backwards Google (elgoog), and Chuck Norris.









Step 1: Google Loco

Screen shot 2009-12-06 at 3.01.04 PM.png
 Go to the Google homepage and type in "google loco" on the google search bar. Then press "I'm Feeling Lucky." The words should dance and jiggle constantly. The search bar changes colors and Google Search and I'm Feeling Lucky have been changed to "Loco Search" and "I'm Feeling Loco."

Step 2: Hacker's Font

Go to the Google homepage and type in "google l33t" in the google search bar. Then press "I'm Feeling Lucky." Everything on the page has been change to a font with letters and numbers. 

Step 3: Elmer Fudd

Step 4: Devil Google (Beastie)

 To get devil Google, type in "google bsd" in the Google search bar. Then press "I'm feeling lucky."

Step 5: Xx-klingon

Screen shot 2009-12-06 at 3.14.29 PM.png
 To get xx-klingon, type in "xx-klingon" in the Google search bar. Then press "I'm Feeling Lucky."

Step 6: Google Penguin (Tux)

 To get the penguin, type in "google linux" in the Google search bar. Then press "I'm Feeling Lucky."

Step 7: Easter Eggs

Screen shot 2009-12-06 at 3.18.29 PM.png
 To get the Easter Eggs, type in "google easter egg" in the Google search bar. Then press "I'm feeling lucky."

Step 8: The answer to the life, the universe and everything

Screen shot 2009-12-06 at 3.23.55 PM.png
Screen shot 2009-12-06 at 3.26.39 PM.png
 Type in "the answer to life the universe and everything" on the Google search bar. Then press "Google Search." The Google calculator pops up and it says it equals 42. I don't really understand it. Maybe you will. Then type in " the answer to life the universe and everything else plus the number of horns on a unicorn" and it solves to 43.

Step 9: Gothic Google

 Type in "elgoog" in the Google search bar, then press "I'm Feeling Lucky." It should show Google backwards. Whatever you type in on the search bar turns backwards. (Thanks to angrychacha for the help.) 


Step 11: Chuck Norris

Type in "how to find Chuck Norris" on the Google search bar, then press "I'm Feeling Lucky." He's just that awesome.

I can't find the Google and Tux logo. Perhaps cause I'm already running Linux?
I go directly to the Google software repositories.

i just found the coolest thing ever. google "google pink." then once your there erase the web adress box and put this javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0); it makes the "google pink" dance around

When you're at Google Loco, click "rainbow google" in tiny text underneath it. Its so neat!
EPL says: Oct 14, 2010. 3:13 PM
Correction, it is www.googlegooglegooglegoogle.com. Try it!
EPL says: Oct 14, 2010. 3:11 PM
I cannot quite remember which one it is, but if you type either google with four o's or four google it has four google windows in one window.

mine looks different that yours
alphadog0309 says: Dec 6, 2009. 1:51 PM
this is from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Series by Douglas Adams. It is determined by a great supercomputer that the meaning to life, the universe and everything is equal to 42... read it or watch the movie it is hillarious
Kiteman in reply to alphadog0309Dec 6, 2009. 2:11 PM
The movie is meh.  Better, much better, get hold of the original TV series on DVD, or the radio series on CD.

The books came after both, and the movie has too much America in it.
Saturn V in reply to KitemanJun 22, 2010. 6:55 AM
Hollywood. Only they can mess up a book that bad. And yes, I'm American.
daltonjcw in reply to KitemanApr 8, 2010. 8:18 PM
 It took place in england! and the rest of the universe....
technodude92 in reply to KitemanFeb 21, 2010. 5:30 PM
 I agree, the movie made me want to exclaim Belgium! the book(s) were much better
jamiec53 in reply to KitemanJan 17, 2010. 12:00 PM
Yeah, I mostly find that the film is utter rubbish compared to the book in most cases.
karossii in reply to KitemanDec 6, 2009. 7:45 PM
I wouldn't say the movie has too much America in it... I would instead say they tried too hard to modernize it. As an American, most of the complaints I have (or most everyone I talk to, including you weird foreigners ;) ) really have little or nothing to do with America.

The movie just sucks.

The books are great... te BBC series ever so slightly better, and the original radio shows were of course, the best!
korgoth25 in reply to karossiiDec 7, 2009. 3:26 AM
I co,pletly agree with all of you that the movie was utter crap. but the origanal bbc series was marinaly better but i thought it ended WAY to quickly (what was it like 6 episodes) and the radio program was FANTASTIC. the only thing better than the radio show would be if red dwarf had a baby with dr. who

That's the idea! Although it does stop after a while...
cawble says: Dec 7, 2009. 7:02 AM
The "Devil Google" is Beastie. He's the mascot for BSD.

The "Google Penguin" is Tux. He's the mascot for Linux.
jamiec53 in reply to cawbleFeb 15, 2010. 4:07 AM
Tux ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shadowmancer66 says: Dec 9, 2009. 3:38 AM
very nice i had no idea it was fun to "play" with google
2fst4u says: Dec 7, 2009. 12:22 PM
These aren't really hacks, just novelty alternative google sites. By clicking 'I'm feeling lucky' all you are doing is automatically going to the first search result. There are a lot of real hacks out there like using the 'site:' feature or exclusion features.
