Mozilla Now Even Includes The Kitchen Sink

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the funny-feature-creep dept.

zzxc writes "Mozillazine reports that a 'kitchen sink' easter egg has been added into Mozilla by a patch to bug 122411. It shows an ASCII art animated kitchen sink. This was prompted by people complaining about Mozilla's bloat - that 'it includes everything but the kitchen sink.' You can see this xhtml demo by going to about:kitchensink in a recent Mozilla nightly, or at mozilla.org with an older mozilla build. Please note that this is not actually included in the browser package, so it doesn't add to mozilla's bloat. Instead, about:kitchensink directs the user to the xml document on mozilla's website."

    I don't care for the kitchen sink. Could you please include a car washer instead?

    But IE has had something like that for years. Sometimes it redirects you to a nice blue screen.

      You can change this behavior if you find it offensive. Just change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs from res://mshtml.dll/about.moz to http://mozilla.org .


      Yet another example of the ease and simplicity of MS Windows! How could anyone use arcane and complicated systems like Linux/UNIX when Windows provides all the functionality you need with simple easy-to-remember commands?

    if we can blame mozillas bloat on everything *including* the kitchen sink, what can we blame windows bloat on? does microsoft have an easter egg including the appliance section in best buy somewhere?

    A million ASCII kitchen sinks flowing for a million years will produce the greatest works of literature known to man.

    would be if the user typed in "about:everything", and the computer replied, "42". (Optional alternative behavior is for mozilla to wait several million years before returning this answer.)

    Snarkiness is inversely proportional to wisdom because it emphasizes feeling right rather than being right.
