Easter Egg: Website 13-16 (Don’t Run Into Stuff)

Posted April 26, 2005, 4:05 p.m.

Most every version of my website has had an “easter egg,” or a hidden goofy something, which you can access by clicking in an unexpected location. Variations of this particular easter egg have been in Websites 13, 14, 15, and 16.

What’s unique about this egg is that it is recycled from an egg I put in a site a long, long time ago (which was accessible when I put this egg up, but isn’t anymore).

Regardless, the Forklift egg has now been retired and replaced with a newer, better egg.
