easter fun

Easter is coming, so Oh is going to share with you some Easter eggs that can be found in applications and websites. If you don’t know what I’m referring to, see here.

It’s getting harder and harder nowadays to find these eggs. Most of those listed on websites around are on outdated software. One of them, however, remains and it’s in Microsoft Word. Try opening Word, and type in the “=rand(a,b)” (without the quotes), substituting a and b with any number you want, like 2 and 5. Then hit Enter and wait.

There’s also a hidden Easter egg on Amazon. Go to the site, scroll to the bottom and click “Directory of All Stores”. On that page, scroll to the bottom where you’ll see “1995-2005, Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates”. If you move your mouse downwards from the ‘5’ in ‘1995’, you’ll find a hidden link to a special tribute page.

If you have Winamp, try the following three eggs:

1. Spinning Fish


2. Funky Llama Background


3. Llama Beat Visualisation

Unrelated to Easter eggs, I just found out about this Googlebomb: try entering “french military victories” in the Google search box and hitting “I’m Feeling Lucky”. You’ll be brought to this spoof Google result page mocking the French. It’s absolutely hilarious, ha!

Google, by the way, has an Easter page with a small game. Take a look and have fun!
