Dont really use the "im feeling lucky" button (I seldom do ).

But I accidentally clicked the button on the google homepage and was amazed a blunt, boring, and intriguing ticking clock was showing.



Anybody other than me noticed it?

After looking around, I figured they are counting down to New Year. Pretty neat huh?

    It's the countdown til New Years in seconds. It's at around 464,000 some odd right now.

    If you think you just get the first result, Caliban - go type in "Chuck Norris" and then click "I'm feeling lucky"

      I get the "Chuck Norris Facts" website, just like I always do.

      And if I click "search," it's the #1 listing on the search results.

      This is what "I'm feeling lucky" has always done. If they changed it, I'm pretty sure people would complain.

    Oh wow - must have been a temporary joke they played. They took it off.
    About a month or so ago if you googled "chuck norris" and clicked I feel lucky what you got was a note that said that You don't find Chuck Norris, He finds you. LOL.
