The Konami Code (if you don’t know it, then shame on you!) has long been part of geek lore. But now it can be part of your work day too: Google has added a new, pranktastic easter egg to Docs.
Just enter up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A and then enter, and behold. I was kind of hoping for a Contra emulator, but oh well – still neat!

Fair enough to write about an easter egg, but WHAT DOES IT DO?

It rotates the document itself 180 degrees (i.e it is flipped horizontally. Do it again to revert back to normal.
Its pretty cool to trick someone with.

It just turns it upside down – good trick to freak someone at the office over.

Don’t know what it’s supposed to do, but it does nothing on an empty document, just get ‘BA’. Up, down, right and left are the arrow keys on the keyboard, right? I want to see the magiG!

This is the same konami code which you can do on Facebook. Which will add Light flares on the page whenever you scroll up and down etc.
