Bradley Wells found an amusing easter egg in his Cr-48 (Which I'm also a bit jealous of, as I really wanted one to test out) and writes about it.  I won't ruin it here - you can go read the specifics of how he found it and what the secret message was [over on his blog][3].

I will say that it reminds me slightly of a page Google used to have that you could only find by peeking around their [robots.txt](1) and [sitemap](2) files. When you went there, it congratulated you for finding the page and encourages you to apply for a job.
