Find Thousands Of Easter Eggs At The Easter Egg Archive
Hard boiled and chocolate filled don’t have to be the only Easter eggs you see this weekend. Check out the tasty little treasures buried in software and media you can discover without the grass stains.
Last year we shared our 10 favourite software Easter eggs with you, but why limit yourself to a mere 10? At The Easter Egg Archive there’s a huge catalogue of over 13,000 Easter eggs. It goes beyond software, digging into DVDs, movies, music, TV shows, books and even framed art. . Your Lost DVDs, Jimmy Buffet collection, and Legend of Zelda games all contain little gems just waiting for you to coax out with some button mashing. If you find a particularly novel Easter egg from your own collection or otherwise, throw the link in the comments below to. The Easter Egg Archive

Is it just me or is the site extremely slow?
In other words, thanx lifehacker!

I found this site years ago, but I haven't used it in a while. It's a pretty good archive, from what I can remember. It's how I first found out about the radar in Minesweeper, the Freecell cheats, and the old pinball game in Word 98 (or whatever year it was). Nice!

@DreadedKilla: It's extraordinarily slow... loaded after about 45 seconds.

It's the slashdot effect on Lifehacker.

What ever the opposite of productivity is, this is it. Unless, of course, you're work somehow involves hidden minutia in "Riven: the Sequel to Myst".

My absolute favorite Easter Egg was an old HP SCSI scanner. You would adjust the SCSI ID to 0, then hold down the scanner button while turning it on. It would start up, and then play "Ode to Joy" by turning the motor at different speeds. Software easter eggs seem to pale in comparison...

@Ionitor: I couldn't fathom what the hell you were talking about until I searched on "HP SCSI Ode to Joy" on youtube. Good stuff :D
@RAW-BERRY: *sigh* (whispers: so I'm NOT crazy... I'm not crazy!)
@Ionitor: I just watched the YouTube video myself. I think that may be the highest level of dorkdom I have ever witnessed. I am suitably impressed.
@Ionitor: I want one. Sooo bad...
My favorite easter egg:
The Simpsons: Season 4 DVD
The brilliant and classic episode "Marge Vs. The Monorail" gets 100% more awesome thanks to a hidden commentary track from the episode's main writer, Conan O'Brien!
During the commantary track the producers and him give anecdotes about him being an ass to the rest of the writers, discuss his hatred of the eldery, and generally how he honestly managed to totally derail the entire series' initial attempt to 'keep with reality' with this one episode.

@Ionitor: I used to work for HP support; that's a hardware selftest. Used on a couple of calls. Was good for a smile.
Hp engineers used to have a sense of humor. The old Scanjet Mac software had a status message during calibration stating: "doing something something important"!
People would call up all panicked about it.

@DreadedKilla: Its always been slow. I stopped visiting the site for a while as they bombarded you with pop-ups and other annoying things. I haven't been back in ages. From the screen-shot in the article it looks like they've had a much needed re-design since I was last there.
