The thing about barrel rolls is you must do them, but sometimes your environment doesn't permit it. Maybe you're in a meeting or maybe you're locked up in a jail cell -- hey, we're not here to judge. Well, if the cops didn't end up taking your smart phone or, more oddly, your laptop, you can do a barrel roll right now.
All you have to do is load up google and type in "do a barrel roll," sit back and enjoy the ride. And if you're looking for some more Google Easter Eggs, here's a few.

@commenter7 Reddit had it posted 9 hours ago. If you're going to pretend to know about things early, you should use better times.

Google is awesome. I wish I worked there so I could be a part of even little things like this.

They're really on the ball with the refs on this one; you can also google "z or r twice" and it'll do the same thing.

You need a newer browser that supports HTML 5 and CSS 3. Newer Firefox or Chrome will work.

This is genius...They are going to force quicker acceptance of HTML5 this way. I hear this easter egg is already very popular. It even made the MSM news.

This isn't HTML5, it's CSS 3. CSS 3 is pretty well supported already, save for some attributes in IE.
HTML 5 is already supported by Chrome/Firefox and even partially by IE9...but fully by IE10 and Windows 8. It's not done yet, though, and won't be for a while.
(Hope this doesn't come off as scolding, just providing the info that I have as a web developer)
