    Hit this link in Mozilla. It's cool.

    or, if you use the old netscape, the original message:

    And the beast shall come forth surrounded by a roiling cloud of vengeance. The house of the unbelievers shall be razed and they shall be scorched to the earth. Their tags shall blink until the end of days.

    and, if you try it in IE, you get a nice blue background. Interesting, eh?

    also, in mozilla or netscape, try about:fishcam or hit CTRL-ALT-F. or type about:anythingyouwanttowrite and you will see whatever you wrote after the about. (in the unix version of netscape it says "Whatchew talkin' 'bout, Willis?"). There are several other netscape easter eggs, but I forget them.. I think the funniest thing is that microsoft decided to include code for about:mozilla in IE (...or they didn't remove it entirely from the netscape source...)
