What Are Easter Eggs? My mate Kieren found these whilst surfing.
To explain: An Easter Egg is a hidden (secret) code in a program or operating system, intended to be activated by an undocumented set of keystrokes and/or mouse clicks, usually revealing text, graphics, animation, developer credits, jokes etc.
Because these 'eggs' are so system dependent (ie; what operating system / internet browser / versions of software your machine runs), they may or may not work. Make sure you've followed the instructions exactly, and if they still don't work a different 'egg' might work for you. Check out more of them here - the place where these were found!
