Default Google's Top 17 Easter Eggs, Gags, and Hoaxes
Quote:
Buried Deep in Google

Google Web site--and many of the company's software programs--are loaded with gags, goofs, and Easter eggs that have helped Google maintain a fun-loving spirit in the cutthroat world of Web competition.
Of course, Google always has a good idea. Thousands of our readers have enjoyed past explorations of wonders like "The Strangest Sites in Google Earth" and "The Most Spectacular Sights in Google Sky."
So when we heard stories of hidden teddy bears, a Google Romance beta service, and early morning appearances of the Loch Ness monster on Google home pages, we had to check them out. And most of them turned out to be true. Take a look.

CTRL+ALT+A in Google Earth opens a flight simulator they say? :O




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

Yea, just tried the flight sim, it's pretty cool!
You can start wherever you want, you've got thrust and rudder control along with a gazillion other controls. It doesn't go very fast but it's really neat, cuz when you crash into the ground or the mountains you black out and it says "Your plane has crashed" and then you can continue or exit.
You also have the plane choice of either an F16 or SR22. And if you have a joystick it'll let you use it

Pretty fun!

Nothing gets by you does it? You're the type of guy that would point out to a total stranger that his fly is down.
