Go to your iPhone or iPod Touch, open up mobile Safari and search for [tilt]. Look at the results. Do they look like they are tilted a bit to the right? They sure do to me and everyone else searching for tilt on mobile Safari on the iPhone.
Here is a picture:
I am not sure if this is a Google prank that went unnoticed over April Fools Day or if it was an Apple prank. I tested this on Android phones and it does not have the same effect.
Personally, I find this to be very funny.

Update: This should work on Android devices as well and this was an April Fools easter egg that was designed by Google and is still available for users to play with.
I believe the first to spot this was @iPhoneTwitter. Very nice find!

It works on my Android 2.2.1 HTC Desire HD with the standard WebKit-based browser.

Is it just for the sake of fun? or perhaps there might be some problem. 1st April gone, now this should not be happen again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxAljETtjzw Just tried it on my Froyo device and quickly videoed it. Its clearly an Easter Egg, and I think will come up on most mobile browsers (will check standard feature phone browser later today). Nice find! Annoying bit? Scroll to the bottom, you actually can't see the left side at all anymore! Good one!

I think I should be properly credited for this, I couldn't find it anywhere else on the web and you didn't state any sources: How about this one: http://twitter.com/iPhoneTeam/status/55509481005662208

Updated my post… Hard to figure out who spotted this first. But you seem to have tweeted it before anyone else. Very very nice find!
