Google is officially 20 years old today and they're celebrating!
Ahead of the festivities, they released a parody poem that pays homage to all the Easter Eggs available in Google Search.
Based on Dr Seuss' Oh, the Places You'll Go!, the parody is a cheeky nod to all the Easter Eggs one might find as they use the search engine. Useful tools like roll a dice, flip a coin and metronome, as well as solitaire, PAC-MAN, and other fun games find their way into the poem.
The poem also helps you locate the answer to life and the universe!
Try it out below!
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to great pages!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
and fingers on your hands.
You can search for whatever
and see where it lands.
You're on your own. With an empty white box.
Roll a dice, flip a coin, if you’re feeling lucky (or not).
You'll spin around pages. “Do a barrel roll” with care!
About anagram you’ll say: "did you mean” isn't right there...
With your head full of brains and your hands full of fingers,
You're too smart to tap any Super Mario box figures.
And if you do not find links
That you want to click on.
You'll go back to the start,
Type again and #SearchOn.
But searchers, beware!
We've hidden more things
in the wide open air ;)
In Search, things can happen,
sometimes go askew,
Atari breakouts, Zerg rushes,
Blink <html> blink blinks too.
And when you have questions,
about lonely numbers or unicorn horns.
Or the answer to life the universe
and everything … again, #SearchOn
OH!
THE THINGS YOU’LL FIND!
Because, once in a blue moon,
Bletchley Park will be scrambled
sending PAC-MAN and snakes
on a big fullscreen amble.
Hooting owls will hoot hoot,
Mooing cows will moo moo,
Google in 1998 will send you back
20 years or so too.
And if that means you need balance,
Why not play solitaire?
Take a moment to spin a dreidel
and catch your breath there.
Reset your bubble levels,
Turn your metronome back on,
(sqrt(cos(x))*cos(500*x)
+sqrt(abs(x))-0.4)*(3-x*x)^0.1
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)
KID, YOU’LL FIND ANSWERS!
So…
Whether you’re Aussie or Kenyan or mostly Hungarian
Or an Indo-Peruvian-Czech vegetarian.
You're off to great pages!
Today is your day!
Your search page is waiting.
So...get on your way!
How many Easter Eggs did you already know about?
