Comment(by strider72):

 Even as major a program as Microsoft Excel has had Easter Eggs, so that in
 of itself isn't unprecedented; but the Excel egg was very well hidden,
 while this is one that can be readily stumbled upon by an average user.  I
 would have to say:

 1) Make it less obscure/bizarre OR
 2) Hide it better OR
 3) get rid of it OR
 4) un-obfuscate the code **and comment it** so people can figure out what
 the heck is going on.

 Personally I go with #4.  IT was a good gag, but now the "the in crowd" is
 in on the joke, it can be slightly less hidden....
