h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A528950

Not exactly topical, but sort of.

Any insights?

I think this is a great topic, but could definitely use some more development. Some examples of some of the more classic easter eggs would be great. As would some mention of how easter eggs have moved to other mediums -- video games, websites, etc. And maybe some more info on how users find easter eggs?

I agree, it needs more. Easter eggs in video games in particular have evolved... rather than simple credits, some Easter eggs activate special advantages or alterations to the game play itself.

I concur with the previous two posters.. this really is a great topic with potential... but it needs to be fleshed out. History, most famous examples, corporate response?

My favorite easter egg is the flight simulator in a certain spreadsheet program.
