Playing with Google
Just been playing with Google and noticed a few little things i didnt know, there nothing special i just thought they where funny. If you search for 5+5 it gives you this ->
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...=Google+Search
You can also do it with roman numerals eg. V+V, And in the thin blue bar where it say "Searched English pages for" if you click on the underlined white links it sends you to dictionary.com for its meaning
Anyone know any other funny ones?

Index of /etc
Index of /usr
Index of /home
Index of /
