Start OpenOffice Spreadsheet (Applications > Office > OpenOffice Spreadsheet)

Within an empty field, type: =GAME("StarWars")

Enjoy

I find a few more.

This one will require you to logout and log back in, but its worth the slight hiccup.

At the login prompt, where it asks for a username, enter: Require Quarter

The username and password prompt will then follow as normal, but you’ll get a quick surprise before you’re logged in.

Enjoy

Visit these addresses in Firefox 3:

about:mozilla
about:robots

Also some other interesting things to find:

about:config
about:cache
about:credits
about:license
about:buildconfig

(Reference to the “warranty” is a warning message and I’m sure its a joke.  Refer here to previous warning messages prior to this one.)

Hit ALT-F2 in your gnome desktop and type ‘free the fish’.

Trust me.

It’s ok. It won’t break your machine. I promise. C’mon!

Now you’ve got company on your desktop with Wanda the fish. Try clicking on Wanda and see what happens. Cool little easter egg in GNOME there.

…or try ALT-F2 and use ‘gegls from outer space’ for a bit of gnome gaming fun.

Thought you all might enjoy that. Better go, Wanda is chasing my cursor right now and don’t want her to catch up.

To get rid of Wanda see the comments section below.
