Interesting.

But if you open and resave it, it won't be 'corrupt' anymore.  You'll see the text as it is.

Re: Its called an Easter Egg

and who tha fcuk is ajagbei?!  Huh

hey, those things arent bugs. they are called easter eggs. They where put into those softwares for fun, that's all. other examples of easter eggs are as follows

in windows 98, goto control panel, display. click on the screensaver tab and select '3d text'. now, replace the default text with 'volcano'. preview and see what happens.

in microsoft office powerpoint 2003 or 2000, goto help/about
hold ctrl and shift and click on the poweroint logo. a small clip appears that lists the names of all the developers on the powerpoint team.

there is a little mail game that comes with outlook 2000. i've forgotten the steps to it right nw because its so long. there's also a small car-racing game in excel. you can search for it because i've forgoten those things nw.

there's also a windings font trick that replaces the number of one of the planes that crashed into the world trade centre with a funny illustration
type 'QQ33N' in ms word and change the font to wingdings. Cheesy

there are a lotta other easter eggs out there just waiting to be discovered. this site archives some of 'em - http://www.eeggs.com found out about the site about 1997. good luck to y'all in your easter eggs ride  Grin

I guess programmers are just trying to have fun with their boring job.

@ Uche2nna,

That's just my what i think. If you're a programmer you can let us know how intersting your job is.

I am not a programmer. I am just thinking about joining a lab that uses a lot of programming to solve biological problems  Sad
