Google Has Easter Eggs
We've come to love, or at least be amused by Easter eggs in DVD menus. These are hidden content on a disc that's displayed by following undocumented combinations of navigation steps using a DVD remote. Here's an Easter egg from The Godfather DVD. Go to Galleries from the Main Menu and select DVD Credits. Follow the Next arrow at the bottom of the screen all the way to the end. You'll see a great clip of the Sopranos cast trying to watch, somewhat unsuccessfully, a pirated advance copy of The Godfather DVD. Note that the language in the clip is consistent with other Sopranos episodes. You can find this egg and more at DVDEasterEggs.com.
Google apparently has easter eggs hidden on its sites as well. You have to type in certain phrases and click on certain things to display them. The Telegraph UK has uncovered 15 of them. The list is here via Newsweek. Have fun. [MG]

They also change over time in response to news stories. During the period when President Clinton was being derided as a waffler, a search for "waffles" took one to the White House page. And, just after the U.S. invasion of Iraq under President Bush II, a search for "WMD" brought one to a mocked-up "403 not found" error page.
