Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Once upon a time, Google let you translate from German to German to beatbox. Now I can't get it to work. —Alorael, who has enjoyed getting directions to Hawaii from the continental US (why that particular point to launch your kayak?) and searching for recursion (and recursion and recursion).

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 It actually used to be that way for any trip across the Atlantic. I think they got rid of it altogether, though. Maybe someone sued them. I suspect that's why they stopped offering "Creed" as an alternate search for "the worst band of all time". You can still use "the answer the life to universe and everything" as an actual number in the built in calculator, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I heard that if you google "elgoog", it's supposed to become a mirror image; it's never worked for me, though. If you type "time" or "weather" followed by a city, you get the time or weather, respectively, for that city. You can even type in "goglogo" to customize the search page with your name.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 elgooG was never actually made by Google, so it's one of those things that you could get to with "I'm feeling lucky." And you still can! —Alorael, who rarely feels lucky on the internet. The likelihood of accidentally bearing witness to things man was not meant to know is too high.
