Google did it again! - April Fool's Prank

Despite the skepticism that Google might not do the april fool's prank this year, Google definitely did not disappoint us this year either. This is a brilliant prank - I managed to get some of my friends totally falling for this. Thanks to Google for allowing me to have this fun!

see for yourself! - http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/chrome/cadie/

Google provides the pdf file for the glasses layout and even lets you download Google Chrome with 3D - try it yourself

Google also did not leave out those users with other locales. Since I can only understand Korean other than English, I can only talk about the korean one though..

If you type '끝말잇기' (keut-mal-it-gi), Google tells you you can play the game. The rule of this game is that a player takes the last syllable of the opponent and use it for the next word. If you can't come up with the next word, you lose.

Next to the panda, it says, it wants to start with '대한민국' (dae-han-min-gook) which means Korea in Korean. Since the word ends with 'gook', I typed the next work '국가' (gook-ga) which means the nation.

Then Google continues to play the game. When Google fails to come up with the next word, it tells you that you are a good player :)
