Easter Eggs online - no not those

[ricmac25]

So for a class I'm taking the term "easter egg" in reference to technology was mentioned yesterday. I looked it up and found a few websites on the topic. Aapprently its hidden stuff in software that's entertaining, interesting, etc. Kind of like hidden tracks on a cd.

The one I found was for Microsoft word.
type =rand(45,1) and hit enter.
Totally useless, but funny.


Has anyone heard of any good ones that work?

Great way for a kid to cheat at typing home work . You can change the second integer value to increase the per line repeat also

Hell, I've been writing 'em for years. There are some pretty good ones around... sadly some companies have taken all of the fun out of it, and made such things a fireable offense to add 'em to a product.

Here's a good one.

type in "French Military Victories" press "I'm feeling lucky"
look at the question did you mean...

Niether one of those are Easter Eggs - you're simplygoing directly to a website parody each time (the I'm Feeling Lucky button simply takes you to the first hit of your sear5ch, nothing more). They use Google-bomb techniques to get their pages ranked at the top so that their page is what you end up on.

They arent easter eggs, they simply relate as they are fun things involving computers, guess I could have clarified that ealier
