Bah, tried to hint on it.  Search for "easter egg".

Is that really a good idea to filter it... might be a post that someone wants to find!

Actual Easter Eggs and SMF don't correlate very well; I doubt it.

What's "easter eggs"?

Posted right above your post:

Here is one definition I found when I searched for a definition:

A surprise feature which is not apparent, but when clicked on does something special. Sometimes takes the form of an extra level in a game or an animation message of some kind. Programmers sometimes bury Easter Eggs in their programs or web sites to add extra depth and challenge users to find them. They are messages, sound effects, or graphics emitted by a program in response to a set of keystrokes or commands, intended as a joke or to display program credits. ...

FOLDOC usually has the best definitions for computer-related terms.

From http://foldoc.org/index.cgi?easter+egg

<jargon> (From the custom of the Easter Egg hunt observed in the US and many parts of Europe)

1. A message hidden in the object code of a program as a joke, intended to be found by persons disassembling or browsing the code.

2. A message, graphic, sound effect, or other behaviour emitted by a program (or, on an IBM PC, the BIOS ROM) in response to some undocumented set of commands or keystrokes, intended as a joke or to display program credits.

One well-known early Easter egg found in a couple of operating systems caused them to respond to the command "make love" with "not war?". Many personal computers, and even satellite control computers, have much more elaborate eggs hidden in ROM, including lists of the developers' names (e.g. Microsoft Windows 3.1x), political exhortations and snatches of music. The Tandy Color Computer 3 (CoCo) had images of the entire development team. Microsoft Excel 97 includes a flight simulator!
