Why aren't iframes working for certain sites

I was following a jQuery tutorial and part of it was to use something that took a long time to load, such as iframes. I can't get iframes to work by themselves, in the following only w3schools works. What is going on?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>This is a test</title>
</head>
<body>
    <p>Hello.</p>
    <p>

        <iframe src="http://www.google.com"></iframe> 
        <iframe src="http://www.stackoverflow.com"></iframe> 
        <iframe src="http://www.w3schools.com"></iframe>
        <iframe src="http://www.yahoo.com"></iframe>
        <iframe src="http://www.reddit.com/"></iframe>
    </p>
    <p>Goodbye</p>
</body>
</html>

Are there any other easy ways to have something take a long time to load in a HTML document? I tried using large images but it's a nuisance to download many of them and they get cached after first time.

The reason for this is, that Google/Satckoverflow is sending an "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN" response header. (You can set this thing either in IIS or in Page Header) This option prevents the browser from displaying iFrames that are not hosted on the same domain as the parent page.
