Post questions to ask Google now that will bring up cards or talking results, or something cool like the "barrel roll" easter egg..
I'm sure we have all shown off things on our phones at one time or another. Currently I have been showing off Google now to people and looking for questions/commands to add to my collection.
There are the basic "what time is it in X place?" and the same for weather..
You can tell it to define a word and it will.
"Who is the cast of X?"
"Who directed X?"
"What is the running time of X?"
"What is the population of X?"
And of course math problems..
One thing I found on my own that I like to ask it is for medicine, such as "What is a Xanax?", and so on. Very educational.
Another is questions like when/how/where was/did X (famous person) born/died/went to school.
Here's a video of some basics, I'm sure allot of you have already seen it already:
I know the Nexus 7 guide (in Play Store) lists some questions you can ask, but what are other questions you might have stumbled on that it will respond to? All useful replies are appreciated!

I know there's one which will make all the text in your browser backwards. Can't think of it now though.

Tilt works on Chrome so I would assume it works on any desktop browser.

I think you just type the word gravity in the search bar? I could be wrong about that...the page should fall off your monitor.

I got the "tilt" and "gravity" to work on desktop. Very cool. Gravity does require the "I'm feeling lucky" button.
Does anybody have any suggestions for Google Now? Something that will trigger a card or at least a voice result? That's what I'm really looking for.

I've found most direct questions trigger a card type of result, with regular Google results below. The 2 examples I saw earlier were "how old is Barack Obama" and "How tall is Justin Bieber". Just direct specific questions.

Nice! I didn't think of the "how tall" question. That's exactly the type of thing I'm looking for.. More questions like this.:good:
I think I've asked it 17 times how Abraham Lincoln died and where Barack Obama went to school lol. People always give me the reaction face.

Google won't search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don't find Chuck Norris, he finds you.
Your search - Chuck Norris - did not match any documents.
Suggestions:
Run, before he finds you.
Try a different person.
Try someone less dangerous.
