just wanted to clarify my last snake(as in 14 yrs.ago) was 6'7" - 256 lbs.

Pretty sure the statute of limitations hasn't run out on that in 14 years. Best keep what you did with the decapitated body to yourself.

Want to do something just for the fun of it? Go to google and type in..do a barrel roll.

That's quite funny. I love google.

There are a bunch of Google Easter eggs.

See here:

Search Engine

• Searching for "askew" or "tilt" using Google will cause the search results to be displayed at a slight angle.
• Searching for "Atari Breakout" and then clicking Images will start a game of Breakout using the image results as bricks. When one wins it searches something else randomly and plays again.
• Searching for "Do a barrel roll" or "z or r twice" will cause the search result to rotate 360 degrees when showing. This is often connected with Nintendo's Star Fox games.
• Searching for "zerg rush" causes a bunch of Google "o"s to attack the result page and eventually destroy it; the user can, however, fight back by clicking on them. After destroying the results, the "o"s then arrange themselves into two capital 'G's, representing the acronym for "good game".
• Searching for "Bletchley Park" will cause the title of the info card to appear as if it was being deciphered by Google. This is a reference to the fact that Bletchley Park, in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, was the central site of the United Kingdom's Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS), which during the Second World War regularly penetrated the secret communications of the Axis Powers.
• Searching for "kerning" will increase the spacing between every letter in the word kerning by 1 pixel whenever it shows up in the search results page. Conversely, searching for "keming" (a common example of unfortunate kerning) will decrease the spacing between letters of the word when it shows up in the search results page.
• Searching for any actor's name followed by "bacon number" returns the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon value.
• Searching for "Recursion" will result in Google asking if the user meant "Recursion."
• Searching for "Conway's Game of Life" produces the Life simulation described by Conway.
• Searching for "how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood" using "Search by voice" produces a vocal response of another tongue twister "A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood".
• Searching for "Kwanzaa" returns a green, Kwanzaa background.
• Searching for "Festivus" places a Festivus pole in the left side of the window.
• Searching for "Santa Claus" or "Christmas decorations" places an animation of a snowy landscape with Santa Claus and his reindeer riding across the top of the search results. On Christmas Eve, a map will appear where Santa is currently located.
• Searching for "anagram" results in the search engine asking "Did you mean: nag a ram" ("nag a ram" is an anagram of the word "anagram")
• Searching for "Google in 1998" results in a 1998 Google search screen appearing in place of the current Google search screen. Clicking on the first result will bring the user to the Wayback Machine's version of Google from 1998. However, clicking I'm Feeling Lucky will go to a page showing google's history in depth.
• Searching for "Google Pacman" has a playable version of the game appear on the screen.
• Searching for the film star Jason Isaacs returns "Hello to Jason Isaacs", a reference to the BBC Radio 5 live film review program with Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo.
• Searching 'who are you' using the voice recognition search causes the voiceover to say 'searching for oneself may take a lifetime. But a good place to start is classic rock.'
• Searching for "blink html" will make both of the words "blink" and "html" do just that (blink) wherever it shows up in the search results.
• Searching for "beam me up, Scotty" using voice search produces a vocal response that says "I cannot do it, Captain, I do not have the power." in an impersonation of the character Mr. Scott from Star Trek.
• Searching for "What does the fox say?" using voice search produces various vocal responses from the song of the same name by Ylvis.[1]

Wow, Ron, I'll be busy all night.

I appreciate clever people with a sense of humor and the platform to express it.

Quote: While I don't kill garter snakes, corn snakes, black snakes, king snakes, or indigos, I do kill water moccasins, copperheads, coral snakes, rattle snakes, and pygmy rattlers. Yes, boa constrictors, and pythons grow to be very large and are dangerous in the wild. They have overwhelmed the everglades, and other lowlands killing both native animals, and bird populations to dangerous lows. We don't have enough cold for them to go into full hibernation, or for the cold to reduce their population, so they continuously reproduce. They are problematic in the cities, and on farms too, however, less so in the cities, and on farms than in the everglades, and wetlands.

 

[Cynthia12]

Yep, ron and I are pretty clever. Ha, I saw some of the others, but I didn't see that many! My goodness. They are the clever ones. Heard that Microsoft is joining google. And Apple. Something going on in that way.

 

[Alaskan]

I am bummed..... I still haven't figured out how to sit motionless all day and get everything done, all at the same time.

Try lying down instead of sitting. It's easier to dream you are busy.

Oooooh! Lovely idea!

some of those work for me but the barrel roll thing does nothing.
