10 Awesome Internet Easter Eggs
Head on over to Webware to get a great list of hidden internet Easter Eggs. They're awesome!!!
1. The Konami code. The infamous code sequence that appears
in many video games old and new (? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? B A) has a place on
the Internet too. Two sites that we know of take advantage of this to
yield humorous results. The first, and most recent is Google Reader. Inputting the code graces your feed source menu with one of the ninjas found in the newly skinnable sharing pages. This trick also works on GameSpot.com. Entering in the code and hitting enter at the end will take you to the cheats section for Contra, the game for the Nintendo Entertainment System for which it's best known.
2. Yahoo's singing yokel. If you remember the 1990s you'll
remember this wonderful yell--the sound of the Yahoo yodeler. To hear
it any time just click on the ! at the end of the Yahoo logo on Yahoo.com. One thing to note is that this doesn't seem to work in Firefox 3, although if you're using IE7 it plays just fine.
3. JetBlue wants a sandwich. The infamous peanut butter jelly time dancing banana (background) was briefly a part of JetBlue's travel search site. Typing in "PBJ" into the search box while holding shift and clicking the search button would pull up a clip from Fox's Family Guy with the dog Brian doing the dance. It was removed shortly after it was discovered. You can still see a shot of what it looked like here.
