Easter Egg
« on: May 09, 2012, 04:14:18 pm »
Since it appears nobody has or will likely in the future accidentally stumble on some of the easter eggs in the site.
I figure I will let it be know that there are such t hings in it to be found.

   All I can say is that it's in a place I haven't found, yet.

Define "Easter Egg" in this context so I know what they are if I see one.

A semi hidden feature, game, tweak, or other oddity added.
They are called "easter eggs" presumably because of it having the resemblance to an easter egg hunt.

I know a bunch of these already... but here is a gander at a WikiPedia reported list of Microsoft Easter Eggs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_eggs_in_Microsoft_products

If you look at some of them, it explains a lot about bloated code (car-driving game in Excel ?)

G I didn't think I hid it that well..

Well, I only scored 3300, but it wouldn't save my score because I didn't log in - but log in to what??

Proof that I found that one at least:
      1. 4320 points by Jennifer
      2. 3850 points by Wolvenar
      3. 3720 points by Wolvenar

what do I win?  Or will you give me back the minute it took to find and play? :)

When I was 10 went on an Easter egg hunt of the 50 some kids....at the end
I was the only one that didn't have at least one egg.....
Since then I don't do Easter egg hunt's.
The down side of being a good sport...you have to
be a loser..... >:(

Norm,

Your lucky to have been on an Easter Egg hunt at all.

I have never ever been on one, but I do have a wife!
