Haven't seen this anywhere but I thought I'd start a thread listing the Google Now easter eggs people come across. I don't know how long these have been around but here are the ones I've tried so far:
Instead of "OK Google" you can use "Hey Google", "OK Computer", "OK Jarvis", "OK Glass" (thanks to @manpildo) or "Listen Google" (thanks to @gd6noob).
saying "Make me a sandwich" - responds "What? Make it yourself" or "Poof, you're a sandwich" (thanks to @Dani897)
saying "Sudo/Sudu, make me a sandwich" - responds "OK" (thanks to @mempf & @Dani897)
saying "Beam me up Scotty" - responds "I cannot do it captain, I don't have the power" (in a terrible Scottish accent)
asking "When am I?" - responds "The present, of course. Tardis functionality is still under development, sorry."
asking "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" - responds "A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could if a woodchuck could chuck wood."
asking "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" - responds - "Did you mean airspeed velocity of African/European unladen swallow?" (thanks to @Matt1408)
asking "Who are you?" - responds "Searching for oneself can take a lifetime, but a good place to start is classic rock." (thanks to @Matt1408 & @EmperorX)
asking "What is the nature of the universe?" - responds "The universe is a spheroid, 705 meters in diameter" (thanks to @RacerX780)
asking "What is your favourite colour?" - responds "It's hard to pick just one." (thanks to @ggreenwood334)
asking "What is the answer to life, the universe and everything?" - responds - "The answer to life, the universe and everything is 42." (thanks to @akash3656 & @corythug)
saying "Do a barrel roll" - makes the search results page roll like on web.
saying "Askew or "Tilt" - gives you a tilted search results page like on web. (thanks to @FirmShark & @Dizzi800)
If I'm missing any please inform so I can add them

wonder if it responds to "HAL"
edit: i have android 4.2 (my nexus is in transit, can't wait) and i think the make ma a sandwhich answer is better. i asked it and it's repsonce was "pffft you're a sandwhich"
edit 2: doesn't look like the op is updating the original post..
a few more that appear later burried in the thread are
"lions and tigers and bears?" - "oh my!"
"how can entropy be reversed?" - "insufficient data for meaningful answer."
"up up down down left right left right" - "cheat mode unlocked! unlimited free google searches!"
(in engilsh uk language) "tea, earl greay, hot." - "sorry, this is not a replicator. support for the hyper text coffee pot protocol is still in beta."
"what is the best smart phone?" - "you will have to decide for your self" or "no one phone is right for everyone"
most others are either the normal features of google now, or a random coincidence. i don't know what the algorith is for guessing the words you say but if everything is clear the search will open on the "g" of google. so any "g" word will work in place of google. many words that start with c or k or j such as computer or K.I.T.T. (like night rider) or jarvis may also work intermitently because depending on the speaker they can osund similar to a g but i don't believe it's ever an easter egg but more an ironic coincidence.
Nice! Didn't know about any of these, the make me a sandwich comeback is pretty hilarious. Wonder how much more there are that haven't been discovered yet.
Saying askew works like on google through a browser.
Another response for 'make me a sandwich' is "OK, you are a sandwich".
These are out course, not unique to the n5.

Ok Jarvis doesnt work.. but Listen Google does!
My Nexus 5 comes tomorrow! I hope "OK, Jarvis" works, I'll use it so much more than "OK, Google"

It doesn't respond to how you would normally pronounce Jarvis in English, but it does if you pronounce it "Yarvis" - though inconsistently, at least for me.
'Tilt' will make the results page slightly tilted
I'm not sure if this would be considered one or not...

@akhan47 and everyone , give this a try "What is the answer to life the universe and everything?"
How can i get "ok Google" working with display off just like Motorola X?

I may be the last person in the world to know this, but "Google Now" on the Nexus 7 answers in context.
This is something I picked up from The Verge:
Ask Google Now "Who is Barack Obama". It answers with a good description. No surprise.
Now ask "Who is his wife". This one blew me away - gave a nice verbal description of Michele.
Try that on any less capable assistant - like Siri - and see what you get. She does not do windows - or context.
A conversation between two people consists of everything said up to that point. Easy to see "Google Now" developing to that.
Is it possible to have the X respond to something other than Okay Google Now? Or would that require a custom app?
i wish... i'd rather say "hey phone" or something. i find "ok google now" too awkward
I tried something else in the launch phrase and it wouldn't let me use anything else.

Agreed. I remember when first hearing about it, someone reported it was going to be "Okay Moto" which I would have been okay with.
I discovered phrases that rhyme with google now work, ok frugal cow for example

That's the point. You don't want words that will come up in conversation together or similar phonetic words.

That's why they picked Ok Google Now.

And so the coolness comes to a sad, sad end.
After glorious months of being the coolest kid on my block - shouting Hey Google make a call! or Hey Google set a reminder! and even the glorious Hey Google show me pics of yellow cats! My cool card has been cruelly cancelled. Yes it's true, sometime over the past week or so Google has tightened up the latitude it allows for for voice commands & now I'm forced (yes, forced!) into the nerdy geekishness of calling out the official "Okay Google!" This is a sad state of affairs for those of us who cling desperately to our cool cred.
Don't read this and think I've accepted defeat; at least when I say Okay Google I do it ironically!
I said "hey Google, make a call" and it worked... It asked me to pick a contact. Idk why yours isn't.

Hmmm...
So I'm being punished for something...or it hasn't caught up to you yet.
Until last week I only ever said Hey Google, but now in response it just sits there dead, limp, lifeless, taunting me with it's silence. That extra syllable is just killing me.

open mic+ allows you to set a custom hotword as they like to call it so you can say whatever you like then its on the play store, hope that helps if not ill get my coat.
I believe "hey" was removed from the trigger words last update RIP

it still works for me no problem, voice recognitions abit off but good enough
Its probably just the more it hears you the more it learns your voice and can distinguish

They could really mess up your cool cred if they wanted too. You could have to say I love you Google, please help me for every command.
That would be funny.

For fun, I used to say "tolchay toodle" and it worked. Was looking for a more ridiculous thing to say other than "Ok Google."
I can say "ok g"
or I can say "f-u google" in spanish, and google now pops up.
There have been plenty of other things that cause it to come up, even when google was not used.
You can be a hipster and say "okay noodles"

Screen has to be on and on the Google launcher home screen. It's not like the moto x where it works anywhere.

I only use it to wake my phone, then Google now kicks in. Sorry, not told it to do anything.
Ask her " how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood". I was drinking with my brother inlaw when we did. We were laghing all night.
I told her to f##k off once and she's said "Call me when you need me" ha ha...
Then i asked her to perform felatio on me. She's replied, "luckily I don't have a mouth"
ask S-Voice "What does the fox say?"
Sent from my SM-N910C
I tried S-voice for a while. Asked it to do stuff with it either always wanting to Google the answer (like "call [someone]") or it just not doing things right.
I eventually just said "you suck"
It replied with "that is not one of my functions"
Then my messed up mind thought, "Hmmmm, maybe in the Note 5...."
"The next big thing is here," Samsung keeps saying. Let's see this feature!
(Oh gawd, I'm going to get banned for this LMAO... please don't mods....)

Well, I'd probably say that OP should just open a ticket on Google's support page and everyone can star it.
Just make sure you star the issue only, DO NOT COMMENT!
If you comment an issue, everyone who starred it will get a notification. So if people start spam replying with "Me too, I'm also having this issue, Google please fix" etc. then your email gets blown up and that usually makes most people unstar it which means Google doesn't really look into it soon because it doesn't seem to be widespread enough. No need to say "I am also having this issue" as that is literally what the star means.
STAR ONLY!!!
Have you tried this by leaving your trusted place? Just going into the basement won't cut it if it's the same house, besides that, if you get a proper location lock on your location and disconnect from all networks, say you're using an app like Google maps, your icon will still move, and turn and stuff according to you, I use this with an old phone that has no service when I'm on my bicycle, I'll have to test this out my self
