Let's just get this out of the way.<!--more--></p>
<p>You haven't heard? Okay:</p>
<p>Type the words "do a barrel roll" into Google. Your screen turns around. Whee.</p>
<p>Have you played <em>Star Fox 64</em>? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIkJvY96i8w">It's a reference to <em>Star Fox 64</em></a>. It was a good game.</p>
<p>Now do it again.<br />
Re-load the page, and do it again.<br />
Have you done it again yet? Great. Do it again.<br />
Do it again right now, hurry.<br />
Do it a few more times.</p>
<p>Have you puked yet? No? That's too bad, we were hoping you might've puked. That's the only thing that might happen if you keep doing it.</p>
<p>Meanwhile:</p>
<blockquote><p>"<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/03/google-do-a-barrel-roll_n_1074112.html">Google 'Do A Barrel Roll' Is One Of The Coolest Thing Google Has Ever Done</a>" - The Huffington Post.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yes, the court of public opinion has weighed this very important issue, and we are in fact amused by incredibly stupid things.</p>
<p>You get the internet you deserve, people. And seriously: we hope you puked.</p>
