What else? I was expecting maybe Spanish...

El Goog! (cue bullfighting music)

In case you people don't realize, that's a *WORKING* page. Remember, though, it's a mirror--type backwards!

You have to type in the search terms backwards, too. Or only search for palindromes. Unfortunately, when you actually click on a linked site, it's back to being right-way-'round.

??? The order of the search terms doesn't matter as long as they aren't quoted.

Follow my advice--type backwards.

Another way to get the same effect is to visit www.google.com.mirror.sytes.org, though this doesn't reverse images or the search field (yes, it's lined up at the right, but you enter the terms normally).

You can do the same for other web pages - for example, you might try www.rr-bb.com.mirror.sytes.org. See, it makes much more sense this way.

And for the truly twisted, there's always http://www.alltooflat.com.mirror.sytes.org/geeky/elgoog...

But did you know that if you type in 'elgoog' again into the elgoog page, it will take you back to google?

For another funny screen:

On google.com, type in "weapons of mass destruction" and click on "I'm feeling lucky."

You'll get an error message, but make sure to read it.

(if it instead takes you to a list of websites, click on the first one on the list.)
