I was going to put these in my signature, but I found so many, I've decided to create a whole topic for them. Google has put a bunch of humorous things in its search engine.

Google can be translated into different languages. Including:
The Muppet Show's Swedish Chef's Language (whatever he's saying)
Pirate
Elmer Fudd
Klingon
Hacker
Pig Latin

Search results:
If you search for "worst band in the world", it says "See Results for: Creed"
Search for "the number of horns a unicorn has" Google Calculator says the answer is 1.
Search for "the answer to life, the universe, and everything" and the answer from Google Calculator is 42. however, when you write it, it must be lowercase and without the quotations.

And one from Google Maps:
If you go from anywhere in North America to somewhere in Austrailia, A step to get there will be "Kayak across the Pacific Ocean."

Selecting the "Beach" theme for your iGoogle page will allow you to see the Loch Ness Monster at 3:14 in the morning every day.
This can also be done with the "Seasonal Scape" which will show the northern lights, the "City Scape" will show UFO's, the "Spring Scape" will show a monster, and "Tea House" will have spirits in the mist.

On Google Maps, you could see a small portion of the moon. When you zoomed in as far as possible, it showed the moon was made of cheese (This was removed).

Google likes to "reveal" new things on March 31 or April 1st. Most of the time, they're just as April Fools Day jokes, but not always. Gmail was created on March 31st at about 10:00 PM.

Nope. Wikipedia! I tested them before I posted them here, obviously, just to make sure they worked. There was another one that used to work. If you went from North America to Europe, they had you swim across the Atlantic Ocean. It said it would take you 45 years or something. :lol:
