I just realized that such popular memes, contribute in eating away at Internet Explorer's market when they don't work on it. People who for months could not be bothered to even just upgrade to IE7 or 8, are now more than willing to download and install another browser, just to see google "do a barrel roll".
I suppose, however, that people that hear about it will probably have people telling them that it only works in Chrome.
Once they do see it though, they may see what they are missing. I'm using WebGL on Google Maps and it's awesome. Now if they can just settle on a nice standard that works in every browser.

It wasn't until I read through the comments that I figured I should try it in Chrome.

Nice. That's more of an aileron roll, though. A barrel roll has an accompanying corkscrew motion of your velocity vector along with the rotation.
Right, but it's a reference to the game, where Peppy says, "Do a barrel roll", but the actual maneuver that you can perform is a very fast aileron roll.

Funny, I never heard of that game. (Maybe it's because I fly flight simulators where a barrel roll actually is a barrel roll... ;-P )
