Read in Scientific American November 2011, that for many years software engineers have been known to take pride in embedding jokes in their code that can yield surprises and show their unique sense of fun. One I tried is a secret game of Snake that you can get to by pausing any YouTube video and holding down the up and left arrow keys. As soon as you see the Snake appear, you must quickly try to guide the increasingly long snake's body around the screen with your arrow keys. It's fun! Give it a try and see if you can keep from tripping over yourself!
If you like that, more elaborate surprises or "Easter eggs" as they are called by programmers, can be found at ScientificAmerican.com/nov2011/pogue
