Collection of Easter Eggs
By Gedet Basumatary

Ok first of all before proceeding further; let me explain you What is an “Easter Egg”?

The term “Easter Egg”, as we use it here, means any amusing tidbit that creators hid in their creations. They could be in computer software, movies, music, art, books, or even your watch. There are hundreds of them, and they can be quite entertaining, if you know where to look.

So if we look at the Software based definition then Easter eggs are messages, videos, graphics, sound effects, or an unusual change in program behavior that sometimes occur in a software program in response to some undocumented set of commands, mouse clicks, keystrokes or other stimuli intended as a joke or to display program credits. Most of the time, they are located in the “About” box of a software.

For example Firefox browse have an Easter eggs which can be viewed by entering

About kitchensink

In the location bar. A kitchen sink made up of ASCII characters will open up with water flowing down it. You need to be connected to the internet for this.

You can also get the same result in other browsers by entering the keyword about kitchensink in Google and selecting I’m Feeling Lucky.

This is just one example; lots of other Easter eggs are there in every field. Even Notepad has an Easter eggs in it. Just type bush hit the facts and save it anywhere. Now open the file and see it, instead of your written text, you will get some garbled text comprising of nine squares.

So Easter Eggs can be fun sometimes in many ways.
